Though I would do things very differently, I don't think they are worth to mention because are more in the range of taste and preferences than in the range of corrections.
And we need too, more information about the need of the client and the product they are advertising. For example, if they are advertising some anti-wrinkle cream, then you can't retouch the creases in the face and below the eyes to a certain degree.
But, like I said, is a perfect good image for me. I saw worst images in professional advertising.
Thanks Samuel, I agree with you there are more range of taste and preference than the range of correction and also, we need too more information about client requirements.But In this image my intentions in not for advertising purposes.I did it for just for practice. if i have to did it for advertising use I will remove all wrinkles and make skin look bit smoother.
Yeah. In my standards, I wouldn't change the face or take away the ear. I use liquify at minimum and only if I considered necessary. The rule for me is the model doesn't have to notice the liquify change when you show the image to him/her. I would do some color matching. Looks to me that the hand has a different green/yellowish tint than the redish one in face and body. I would smoothen the wrinkles a little more and tone down the highlight on the tip of the nose. My dodge and burning would be very different too. And I repair the skin but I maintain all the texture. I don't smooth skin.
But like I said, I saw worst in professional advertising, your options are perfectly respectable.
The beautiful thing about retouching at this level is that every retoucher has his own style. We are like painters here, more than in others photographic genres

Are you following a specific retouching course?
No Jorge, I don't follow any specific course.
