Editing OK?: Yes
Default Re: Too much retouching?

I'm glad you made a post, Lori, and bumped this back up, I had forgotten about it, LOL.

Here's my edit - lightened in levels, white balance correction; then I brightened the eyes, and then bumped the contrast a little bit; ran a 3% burn over the shadows, and then 3% dodge over the highlights (maybe that part wasn't needed, I tend to do things too bright); sharpened and that's it.

Hope you like it - come on over to portraits and hang out, we'll learn a bunch together!
