Retouch 1

Hey there guys i'm back (been a while eh?)

Well this is just a retouching before and after Im showing you guys because ive been learning and listening quite a lot in these past 2 weeks about portrait retouching and I want to show you the fruits of my labour. I think its came out pretty well but what do you guys think? Please do leave any critiques and comments because it'll help me out massively as this is a learning curve I really want to improve.

Lastly a big thanks goes to =freshmagicmushrooms for providing me with some image to work with and his are the images I will probably be uploading in the next couple of days so go take a look at his gallery now you will be impressed!
