haha, I agree. especially the left side. you can tell the difference between the editing on her face and the original skin underneath the eyes. it's still decent, though. kudos.

The cheeks look pretty much like a hot mess. The picture itself is pretty small so I don't really know what you did, but it appears that you took a brush set to low hardness with one single skintone, and coloured in all the flushed colour from her face. Why?!

She looked better before. And why retouch an already extensively retouched photo?

I think that it looks alright, but it would help if you showed us a larger resolution. From what I can see, the lips look weird, cause you covered up the teeth, it looks like she has fangs now. >_>

I hate both the before and after. Before she is ugly and the after looks to fake and she looks deformed. Re-do it but go a little easier. her cheeks look like a vector.

Her face does look deformed. I think you could have done a better job with her mouth/teeth. For retouches, I think you should use an image that mainly shows the face; not one that is distance. But good job. flowers.gif

I'm not sure if Madonna is the best person to try to retouch. Unless you completely change her around, it's a little hard to make her look better. She's just so fake as it is.

To be honest, I actually like the original better. Your retouch looks like plastic surgery gone wrong.

well im going to be honest. It looks terrible. The cheeks don't blend well at all, it just seems like you just paint brushed it. For the lips i can almost tell that you cut something out and placed it over.

I find retouching though very hard overall
