Retouching a face

I had some fun this afternoon using Christy Schuler's tips on retouching a model shot. There is advice on Skin tone, Symmetry, Eyes and Sculpting the Face on her website. She takes you through her advice step-by-step on video and she has a great narrative style. Her focus is on how to achieve effects that keep the shot natural rather than resorting to liquifying and warping the face.

I used GIMP, rather than photoshop, because its free! I'm quite pleased with the first attempt.
