Critique please!

ok so here i go with another retouch.

there's any blur in the image only a lot of dodge & burning, transforming, cloning, healing.. blah blah blah hehe

tell me what you think.

EDIT: i added a bit more contrast to the second image

Re: Critique please!

Shading transitions seem to be well done. Elsewhere dodging is overdone. Her face has lost its shape, eyes too white and flat. Unless that's what you intended, then ignore me . . .

Re: Critique please!

It is an improvement for sure. To take it up a notch, it does need more contrast, which will take away the flatness "lurch" referred to.

Re: Critique please!

Your increased contrast looks much better to my amateur eye. Her chest is a little blotchy.

Re: Critique please!

I see some blotchiness on the upper part of the cheek in shadow as well as the chin that's in shadow. Also a bit in chest as noted by Lurch. Nice otherwise.
