I recently saw a PS tutorial where the person had done similar processing but added in noise for the skin (as in he had the layer with the healed/fixed up/noise ninja-ed skin, and used the add noise function, before using a layer mask and painting the skin onto her face). I don't know if this would work for her skin, but it might be a simple way to make her skin look less 'plastic-like'.

I haven't really tried it myself, but it seemed like a good idea...? (-:

A door to what indeed... at first glance the arch looks like it is surrounded by emptiness, or a sky. It's a beautiful picture.

She has an amazing face, I feel like it was cut off a bit abruptly.

I really love this photo. It's simple, beautiful and calm. The only little nitpick i have is that I's slightly crooked. Still, a 10 from me and to my favourites.

Hello from the Critique Club!

Firstly, congrats on the top ten finish! I love the colours and the shine of this picture.

I really love the composition, and the border definetly adds to the vibrancy of the photo. One possible suggestion (and I'm not quite sure if it'd add to the photo or not), cropping the photo at the bottom so it's all green - cutting out the bit of white down there. I get the impression that it'd make the pic look a bit more grounded...

The DOF is great, though I did notice that the top left, the upper green glass, is the only part that seems to be a bit out of focus.

One other detail is that whatever you used as white underneath seems to have little dust specks that show up. With a picture this clear, i think it'd be nice to have a purer white.

I love the play of light in each of the coloured shadows. In the green it seems to come from a bit of a different angle, which seems a bit odd because the red and the blue are very much the same.

All together, I'd say this is a beautiful picture though. And once again, congrats on the top 10 finish!

I like the way this swan seems to be strolling through the city. Very nonchalant. At first I was thinking, 'now these are very grey colours for such a beautiful bird', but for this particular photo, I like it. The tag on the ankle is kinda like a style statement.
