It's a lovely edit! And i see what you did there to change the spec ratio, but I liked the crop in the original, the hand looks weird the way it is cropped, the elbow is also odd looking, the eyes look natural but the face skin is a bit flat, however, it looks good overall, good work!
I was thinking the same about the hand, but I didn't liked ( I don't know how to say it in english ) the finger position/length in the 3:2 crop. Since my general style is 16:9 i tried to remove a part of her finger lol.. couldn't make it work with the liquify tool. thanks for the feedback Radrian!
Yeah, i was kinda thinking about it too, but that's something you have to do in camera in the set, there is one way if you had more pictures maybe one of the bunch has the right position of the hand and all you have to do is photoshop that hand in this photo, I've done it with faces and mouths, one mouth looks good, but the eyes and the eyes in another are great but the mouth isn't, so i swap them.If you don't hve more photos, then I think it's ok to leave it like that.
As for a good parts - skin is cleaned quite ok, like the results, colors of the original photo is also interesting and composition is nice too. What i do have problem with is a pose in general, would probably not retouch that image. But If I would have to, I would probably do the same path that you took, except maybe for less red skin tones, right now it just look red, where orginal was bit yellow - but in original it was fine as it was because of the yellow lamp at her back. Would also step back from liquifying a bit, I also do that but it can easily get out of control :) Hope that helps to progress! Cheers man!
My eye was drawn straight to the leg in the background being one of the darkest parts of the image. Cropping that out will bring her eyes on a third which theoretically will draw the image in. Regarding some comments on the hand, it's sitting on the third which draws attention there instead of her eyes.
The changes you've made to the exposure and tones is really good including bringing her eyes out. The colours work really well.
