Was taken in Minnesota last christmas when I was over there, she's now my ex, but I still like this picture, I'm posting it because I've been trying to learn photoshop recently, mainly retouching, and here's an edit I've done, wondering what you think really.

I like it. I like the vignette and the eyes are very nice. All in all a great photo IMO.

Really like the way youve processed this one.
I dont know if its natural or your PP but, her skin looks fab... and her face really pops!
The only minor niggle for me is that the hair looks a bit 'flat'.
Id consider trying to lift some highlights a tad, particularly on the right-hand side.
As said vignette works well. :thumbs:

Thank you, I really didn't do much to the skin she was just that way with her make-up, plus it was -C so that helped a bit.

Yeah it was my first try, want to have a go on the hair show me what you mean?
