The instructions for moving the mouse over image to see before/after could be directly under the photograph. Also make the mouseOver effect about the same size as the photo as it didn’t work for me till I moved w a y over to the left.

Ditto the frames comment. And lose the intro screen; it’s s-o-o-o nineties and pisses people off. When they click to go to your site they don’t want to have to click again to… you know, go to your site.

Why did you give the guy a huge right shoulder? It jumps up about 1/4 of an inch in the retouched version, that, moving his lapel in, changing his mouth and putting his hair over his ear completely changes him. I wouldn’t be thrilled with that retouching if I was your customer.

He mirrored the other shoulder. I didn’t like it either, nor the other changes. I guess since he asked for feedback, that is mine too.

Due to the extreme damage I understand wanting to mirror the other shoulder, but I’d of played with transforming it to match the shoulder being repaired. I’d of fixed the ear, not covered it. Left the mouth the same, not added a grin. Also, fix that hair, at the top of his head on the same side of the un-natural shoulder fix, the hair needs to curve some, IMHO.

Nice website. However:

1- I feel that the pictures are rather scattered.. I just don’t feel good for distributing the pictures the way you did.

2- The cat is lovely, but it seems not so professional. I think it would look better with the tiles with only shadow and without beveling. I would also recommend that pixelation of cat should not be done on a whole part of the picture. I mean it would look better if you divide the cat into large tiles, and used checker board style in pixilation. With your silver looking cat and black background, I would recommend mirror reflection in the ground. How about cat’s eyes? consider some reflection mapping.

3- I have no great objection on the dark background.

4- Some of the pictures do not fall under the catagory of retouching… They are "composed" rather than retouched.

5- The B&W eastern guy’s picture does not reflect hi-fi retouching. The older picture looked more handsome. Also, I can tell that you might be very proud of it as you put it in advance. I advise you to put it somewhere else, or, you try to retouch it again.

6- I liked very much the lady with Dior shades and lady sitting alone in the train, and most of your digital artwork.

I am curious about the girl on the bed photo

Is that PS lighting filters or a plug-in? or from another frame of the shoot?

I like the fact the girl becomes the focus of the composition

take the restore shot off the first page (they are your weakest work) The retouch work is good, not over done, in the cases of the yellow cast lighting, did the photog ask to change the cast? because I like the yellow warm light of the originals better (black skirts, bride) (get off auto corrects)
your artwork is the strongest work, liked it a lot, as I said last time I am not sure the cute little kitty image goes with that work.

I like the front picture (it’s a cat!! of course I like it) and the name is cute
