too much post-processing for me. The face almost looks like a painting on my monitor.

Gorgeous woman with honey eyes, the lighting is very good.
I think there is too much smoothing rate, and lack of sharpness in poor and eyebrows.
But; You have many great photos of the portrait.

Alex, google "photoshop skin texture brushes" and learn the technique, otherwise all of your models will look like plastic dolls from ToysRUs. To get you started: http://phlearn.com/create-skin-texture-from-scratch-in-photoshop

The face looks like a painting. There is absolutely no reason to process a photo that heavily.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see this any differently than standard beauty/fashion editing. Well done. FWIW

right, the skin is still too smooth (IMO) but everyone has a different viewpoint

For the kind of shot you are doing (highly stylised beauty work) I think it's just right.

You are missing then proper editing. Compare to, say the shot below (via Benjamin K., frequent poster here). Skin retains texture, doesn't have a 'glossy' or 'reflective' feel to the skin. Certainly, to each their own, but it isn't accurate to call that 'standard fashion/beauty editing'

I think on thing that you could do to clean up the image a bit is to remove the crazy hairs on the 1st picture.

In my opinion picture looks too noisy and dirty, but like you said, to each their own

Anyway thank you for your attention to my work

I respectfully disagree. Here are four reasons why:

Perhaps standard was not the right word. The plastic-y editing is common in fashion/beauty.

I think the skin texture is not too bad. There are two areas though that seem a tiny odd to me:
- The transition from soft to hard in the eyebrows.
- The shadow under her chin. It seems very abrupt to me and doesn't seem to match the lighting of the rest of her face. I can't be sure if it was the lighting or the post-processing but if you did any light-sculpting there in post, I would suggest backing off a bit.

Just a guess but if you could work on those two things, I suspect that the impression of too much processing on the skin would largely go away.

The skin doesn't bother me that much. Maybe tone down the smoothness a little but really considering what you're going for it's fine as is for me. My only nitpicks would be the shadow under the nose could be lightened up a little, the front eyebrow needs to be cleaned up and the hair, particularly on the right side needs to be cleaned. You've framed her face really well with the hair and spent a lot of time processing the face but her hair on the back, sides and on top doesn't match the processing on the face. I think if that was cleaned up you'd have that glam look complete and the processing on the face wouldn't seem so obvious because it wouldn't be in contrast to the rest of the photo. Excellent pose with a beautiful model.
