Very cool editorial piece! The blurriness of the photo enhances the mood a bit to give it a more surreal aspect to it. Were you looking for any feedback on the retouching itself? If so, what were the techniques you employed?
Thanks! Most of the retouching was around the models face, she had a bunch of acne around the cheeks and I also enhanced the tones. The original shot wasn't as colorful.
Hi Abel!
Good to see you here :)
Can I be direct or should I be nice? I am sure you'll take it the right way :)
This is a Beauty Photography group and whenever we talk about beauty (and all of its sub-types: portraits, editorial makeup, hairstyling, etc) - it is all about the beauty of the woman in the image. And in most cases that beauty is shown through the face. Usually a large part of the canvas is "given" to the subject's face.
In this image I don't see beauty, I would not call this a beauty image, or even a fashion shot, unless it is a story and there are more images that tell that story.

I think given that you did a superb job! The textures and tones really work well together!
