I love this. Beautiful light and retouching. And I really like the blue and red kicks. I'm fine with the way it is, but if I were to be super picky, I'd like to get back the edge of her ear. The fingers at the bottom of the image don't bother me at all. Nice shot!
Superb! Love the lighting control and retouching!
Being super nitpicky but the skin texture with the blue highlight on the forehead doesn't look quite right. Was the highlight blown in the capture?
first of all well done on lighting and overall retouch
when we stand back and look at the image for few seconds its great, there is nothing to argue about, but when we take a closer look and analyse the image, there are few things that in my personal taste and opinion should be worked on and fixed (which is only about the retouch)
first of all, the nose... the tones and highlights are not really cleaned up. in a beauty shot every thing need to be perfect i guess.
her chin and the area around her chin close to her jaw line, the are some dark spots that can be retouched alone side the color mismatch to the rest of the face (maybe lack of saturation).
opposite side of that, close to her ears on her cheek bones, there are some super saturated lines of red highlights, that i think doesn't really do any good.
last of all, hairs look unnatural to be honest, maybe frequency separation used and smoothed the shadows, or something like that which blurred the shadows.
but lets hear the good things, all i said was my personal opinions and ideas on retouch, not photographer. so overall contouring is done great, eyebrows, eyes, makeup, skin retouch on the neck and body, lips, and great lighting, every things is done perfectly well...
great job
