I like it. She has a nice expression, colour palette is well chosen and the editing is nicely stylised, if slightly synthetic, nice though. Her eyes look sligtly exagerated but not greatly and in the context of the stylised look they are more acceptable than would be the case in a more natural looking image. Her hand against her face looks wrong, however. You seem not to have not edited it as you obviously have her face and neck.
I think I would prefer it with an overal reduction in saturation/vibrance, especially the orange stuff in the background to slightly re-emphasise the image in favour of the girl . But these suggestions are not meant to imply anything more than quite small adjustments might be considered. Good job.
You are right, I haven't edited the hand, and it's also difficult to match the hand color with the face, i dont know, how I can get them matches, the fact that the hand is more pale than the face :(
I completly agree with what Ian said, I guess a 2 cent from my side is:
- after editing take everything off by like 10-15%, you will get more natural results this way,
- for maching colors between hand and face try Displacement Map technique (google it), or something i recently also get quite good results: make simple new layer, set it to color mode pick color from face and with 6-10% brush try to paint it over hand. Keep in mind that not only color is the problem with the hand on this photo, but its too bright comparing face, but you can do this on a separate layer.
Still I pretty much very like the colors you've got on this photo, well done.
Great photo but I suspect you are dodge and burning on a 50% grey layer or using the curves method with the curves layers still set to normal because you are totally losing the skin tones to greys in the shadows. I would recommend curves method and make sure the layers are set to luminosity to maintain tones. Then work on making sure your transitions are smoother from lights to darks and you will nail it.
Yeah Im DB'ing in 50% grey layer, I dont like the curves method, the 50% is more me, can i set the opacity to luminosity in 50% grey layer, will it work?
Probably not. Here is a great tutorial on the different D&B methods and how they affect you image. I would just recommend getting away from the 50% grey for portraits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeEXY2kIpVo
Like I was telling you and you can see demonstrated in the tutorial I posted the 50% grey layer destroys you tones when you are burning. So when you are using it on skin you will start to get different skin colors.
very nice

Agreed. I'd like to see the OOC version.
Here is the before version.

Why should I get away from the 50% grey method?

Great job, in both shot and PP sessions
