Thank you! I appreciate you tuning in as well as everyone who had a chance to check it out. I hope some of it was informative and I appreciate Doug's kindest offer to come on to help in any way I can.

After all, I learned a lot from Retouch Pro when I started and I am grateful.

Thank you!

Thank you for the opportunity. Thanks for the quick look at my work.
I had guessed where I have to improve my retouching skills - now it's a little bit clearer for me, where I have to think over and improve.

Think I see what he means by these may have been done by the same retoucher. There's similarities and they all seem to be screwed up in similar ways. The link did seem a bit "click-baity" when I first came across it.

Thanks Doug and Pratik, I learned some useful tips from this. Hope to see more in the future.
