You did an interesting study, I have also done this in the past. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)"/>

The Right look is very innocent and genuine.
While the Left look seems to have the features a bit more refined it gives a slight glimpse of character.

And of course, your clean one is going to be naturally most appealing.

Us humans detect symmetry so well, if we were all perfectly symmetrical we'd all look weird.

Something I learned from such study: Natures beauty lies in it's harmonic balance of it's chaos.

Fantastic work! Keep up the good work, would love to see more from you!

Do you have a tutorial (or can you suggest one) on how to edit lighting to get this effect?

Seems to suggest that you are blessed with a very symmetrical face

First, i agree with whoever said disney made you in a lab, wow your like a cartoon. . . i mean that in a very positive way.

on to actuall image comentary: basic before and after is quite nice, though i think you overdid the eyes. try not taking out the shine over the pupil next time. shine in the dark areas of the eyes shows life. what i find most impressive however is the left right images. theres a clear sharp example of the masculine feminine paralell, while for you both images are lovely and very female, you can tell that the left image is far girlier looking than the right. i love the study, its great.

I see you have requested critiques, so here I go:

Please note that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the left image, it's very good on it's own and a fine edit to be sure.

However, when compared directly to the untouched version, it seems to have lost a lot of liveliness and spark that the untouched version has.
I think that editing your eyes and rebel hair strands are mostly to blame for this.
The eyes specially, carry a lot of personality and even though the reflections are highly dependent on surrounding light; they still pierce through with a lot of strength.
Your hair is a small change that can only be really noticed with the side-by-side comparison; What it does in the edit is subtract some human fragility to leave a colder, more surreal figure. It might sound a bit trivial but, it's one point towards the original version, however small.
The bridge of your nose also didn't need any changes but, this is purely a matter of opinion and not a technical matter.

Finally, there is the color adjustment (this is also more in the realms of opinion) on which I say you did a great job. The colors stand out to grab attention and the background is a much better match for an artistic picture than grey. But, I am guessing that the neutral grey was intentional for the sake of this exercise. Either way, this is one area where the re-touched version shines over the other.

This points towards the best outcome for this picture being, to simply apply your color adjustments to the original and call it finished.

I like the original one better. This is why, of course the clean one is going to work with publishing stuff, but your teal original eyes are hard to beat they look originally perfect.

Did you photoshop your eyes and lips bigger? If not then I swear Disney made you in a lab!
