Self portrait - Before & After

I'm a beginner photographer and I'm just getting started with off camera flash, umbrella, lightning etc.
I improvised a studio at home and used myself a model for this test. It was the first time I used frequency separation for skin retouching and I was very impressed with the results. But I'm not too sure if I've overdone it. I'm putting a raw and edit version for comparison.
CC is very welcome. Thanks.

A bit overdone but still nice. Perhaps you painted or blended too much on the low frequency or didnt get enough texture. But also nice first attempt! Good job with the lighting

Thanks Justin, I really appreciate your feedback.
I'll rethink about the amount of blur I'm using on the low frequency layer and pump up the texture a little bit.

Any interest in this group?

Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?
