For some odd reason, it doesn't look like a retouch. It doesn't seem very "real" and lively. The fact that you used an abstract (screen) texture on her, it alters the coloring that you just did, so now it's completely bright and dark. Her waist and her arms is like dark..... Because of that, we can't see how nicely or what you have done to her (other then the stuff you just stated).

And also, when you use a texture, try not to have those straight lines. It distracts the viewer. I can see it on the right of her, and it goes down to her arm. When that happens, erase some parts so that it seems like the texture is already blending into it.

IMHO, it does not seem like a "retouch". More of a colorizing type of deal. You didn't enhance her with toning her skin, face, make-up, etc. It's more like colorizing and editing graphic-wise.

And yeah, I agree about all that copyright. Copyrights should have at least be smaller, not that huge.
