Make this 50 year old lady a little prettier. But please be gentle with her age.
Background is ok.

Here's mine. Always difficult to know how far to go with these... I prefer to err on the side of keeping the imperfections. I felt that the original photo was too dark and the skin had a gray cast, so after fixing those I almost felt like stopping right there. But I went ahead and reduced the heaviest wrinkles in the neck and jaw area, in the hands, and then toned the legs a bit. Comments welcome.

A good result Rich...not overdone. Thanks.

This is my attempt.

Here is my version of retouching, comments are welcome

Thanks PL124 for your work. It looks good, just the right leg needs some more "smoothing". It still looks a bit blotchy.
The quality of your retouching is difficult to see, because you used the small size of the image.
Though I appreciate your effort very much.

Here's my attempt. What do you think? Although to be honest, I thought she was gorgeous as she was.

Very good job Chyina. I like what you did with her face, not overdone, just nice.

Thanks Chris! I had fun touching her up.

Felt bad after smoothing a bit of her facial wrinkles. She looked great with them.

It is up to you how much retouching you want to do.
I like what you did...thanks for sharing.

Hi Rainy
It's a new approach and it looks pretty nice on the skin tones!
Thanks for sharing.
