Lyuda
This image was from a simple studio session with a new model. Lyuda has very simple, clean, innocent features that photograph exceptionally well. I thought that this particular shot had great lighting and composition. It was worthy of a retouch. My goal was to bring more life and vitality to it.

I started with the liquify tool to streamline her look and soften the jaw line. |

Finally, applied some localized sharpening and contrast enhancement to help the eyes pop. |
