Simple one light portrait and 20 minute retouch. Sometimes less really is more.

Seen it on FB already, this is phenomenal!

Much appreciated Patrick, cheers

The Skintone is simply mindblowing! And the expression on her Face is telling a thousand different Stories. I am stunned! Thanks for showing this to the World!

I love the painterly look, but this almost looks like it could be on an anti-domestic violence ad. I like the "pouty" look as much as the next guy, but I think this one's a little overboard.

Maybe I was going for an anti-domestic violence ad look? I'll try to make more happy images next time.

Yes so simple! I love it!

I agree with the color of the skin tones, it lacks the magentas and goes more towards brown tones. Michael, how are you treating the reds or cyans? Can you show us how you achieved this skin tone? Here or in another tutorial? I'd love to see the skin tones from the before shot too!

Phenomenal

Love your work Michael!

beautiful portrait

you got some awesome shots man!!

Top My friend

Love it

The eyes stand out well here a soulful expression working well too.
