![https://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c128/sneaky_sniper/review.jpg]() I think I may have overdone the eyes a little bit, but hey, I like blue.  Anyways, any thoughts, criticisms or praise are all greatly welcomed and appreciated. Edit: Figured I'd include the original. ![https://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c128/sneaky_sniper/beforeer.jpg]()

Face a little too bright and body is a bit uneven contoured for my taste. Could benefit from a touch of vignette as well.
The dark cloth between the arms should either be removed (that would also show quite some skill) or cropped out.

Why didn't you do anything to the overall color & tone?

Trust me, I thought the first one is before, II the after. I like the original. You didn't do anything besides punching the contrast and some minor skin treatment. A lot more needs to be done. EDIT: I keep my statement.

Edit- *here, I'll put the original without any changes at all done to it*
Edit #2: The whole reason I put it up is so that I can figure out what all I need to work/focus on. I appreciate all your responses, Koray and Krunoslav you two are some of my favorites on this forum, so I'm just hoping to get some advice.  Thanks again everyone.

My advice: Don't change the skin tones or makeup, unless specified or if it works, for her, I wanted white skin, when I saw the original I saw she has like that in the camera, you destroyed it.
