Not to keen on the plastic face look. Neatimage?

Here face is too perfectly smooth, not real natural looking to me. Kind of cake make-up look. Everything else is nice.

Pretty. The face/skintones look overly re-touched. My imagination?

Of it's type this is well done - but you've taken the skin smoothing trick so far it's reminiscent of the worst kind of over-processed glamour photography, and effectively taken all the humanity out of your subject. It's also left a peculiar shading around the inside of the left eye. Just too much of the selective blurring, really. Lighting is good, catch-light in the eyes is good, naturalness of the model is good.

I'm guessing you ran this through Neat Image or something. The face looks just a bit too unnatural. Other than that, this would be a great photo.

While I do like the pose, the color and sharpness, I do have problems with the too soft skin: looks a little unnatural to me.
Otherwise a great portrait.

way too much skin softening here, done well but if used 2nd layer I would put at 30-40% opacity. Also more care on the hair when deleting softening look.

Whoa! Way too much post processing. Kinda over did the neat image. So much so that it does not even look real. I think it spoiled an otherwise good picture. I like the look on the face with the slight Mona Lisa grin. 6

The pose and lighting are very nice and first impressions are very good. However, looking a bit longer, it looks like the skin has been touched up so much it looks like wax. There is absolutely no texture to the skin.
