As we were planning our shoot, Iria said she needed a swimwear look. I wanted lifestyle with my car. We compromised. I think it turned out great. Hope you like it.

I have made sure to keep the original, but I've done this photograph the way you can see here. I've also done it in monochrome.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED ABOUT PLACES LIKE THIS.
I passed this place on my way to an appointment yesterday, and I just knew I wanted to photograph it on my way home. That's precisely what I did.

I like the skin retouching.
The hair cleanup/cloning is pretty bad, though. The left side looks obvious you tried to do some cleanup because of the blurring. And, looks unnaturally flat. Makes the head area look weirdly lopsided. Also makes it look like a mullet on one side. I would have just left the hair alone, especially since it looks like she has a casual outfit on.
I would not have partially cropped into the hair. Either deliberately crop into it more or leave some head room space. The original was perfect.
The background has distracting lines, especially on the left. It's strange the orig didn't have them. Also, the right side has way more magenta. Looks strange the left side is more teal, but the right has more magenta.
COOL
Nice job on the skin. Keep in mind that cleaning up to much of the little creases around the eye doesn't give your model the idea she has issues around her eyes. Personally I always discussed the level of "glamifying" the wanted. Nevertheless, you've done a good job on it.
Considering the hair, I follow the remarks of Black Z Eddie... The model is wearing casual clothing and looks absolutely gorgeous with her wild hair, so I would consider editing without touching the hair.
Nevertheless, you are heading in the right direction. Nicely done!
