Hi guys!

I would really appreciate some critique and/or suggestions how to improve this portrait/beauty shot.
The primary problem concerning the image was to get rid of the overexposed areas.

Besides this problem, is it too dark, too bright, how about the contrast and so on....

I'm very grateful for any help, but don't be too mean:).


Thanks in advance.

Smooth the shade and light of the jaw (subtly). Do the cheek too, that needs a blend, and underneath the eyes are also still a little hot.

I may have been tempted to put more d&b in the hair, but great job on the flyaways.

Do you have it in camera RAW? Adjustments from there would be easier.
