A couple more tweaks I've been working on
Thank you!

Of course some are overdone, but that's intentional just to learn the software so I'm not knocking that. I think in the first one, if you're going to make changes you might also want to try straightening her mouth.
Your work on the eyes is really good, I think #2 would look great with the edited eyes and the rest natural.
The last 2 are the best IMHO.

This one was fun. I hated that green background. So I shot a photo of a canvas art piece in my office and used that instead. You can still see some of the green in her silohette. But I wanted to move on to other photos.

I see what you mean. On some it requires a lot less than others. I need to work on identifying when and how much to apply for each. Thanks for the CC.

NP. Canon cameras have a (unfair) reputation of giving skin a plastic look. This isn't true of course, I think the plastic look comes from overuse of NR. Anyway, the key is to maintain some skin details while reducing the worst parts. You pretty much nailed it on some... I guess time will give you the eye. You work with layers in PS right? That way you can turn layers on/off to see if your improvements are indeed better. Sometimes I work on an "improvement" for a while, then turn it off (click the eye icon next to the layer) and I realize the "improvement" is worse than the original. LOL
Anyway, keep at it bro.
