    good work guys

  • Steve M

    Wow, awesome job to everyone!

  • http://www.josephnicklo.com josephnicklo

    Some really nice retouches here. Congrats to the winner(s).

    Some are really impressing, others are overdone in my opinion. I like it when skin looks like real skin… Therefore the first one is a good choice – the skin still has texture. But honestly – I wouldn´t wanna be the one to choose! ;-)

  • Debby

    I hope you’ll do another re-touching competition soon!

  • Bernd

    I don´t agree with first prize, the Mercedes Retouch is by far the best one

    • guy

      i agree. the mercedes one is the best

      • http://justinmarquese.com Justin

        I also agree.

    • http://clickdesignz.com Austin

      Agreed. I also thought that alot of the runner ups were WAY better than the first prize.

  • guy

    the afro guy one is awesome

  • http://www.ericvasquez.net Eric Vasquez

    A lot of these are really well done, although I would have to agree that the Mercedes one is really awesome.

  • http://www.peax-webdesign.com Graphiste freelance

    Some relly awesome works, I agree. great selection, I love this

  • Ryan

    Mercedes is in my opinion the best one, but also the afro one was amazing how he literally kept every hair in tact. Would love to see the selection process he used for it…

    • Joe

      Indeed, i have used the channel-based technic to extrac hair and still have detail….. but c’mon, the affro guy picture its awesome, how can you get that much of detail??, that will be a greath tutorial.

      Any chance the autor can share how he did it? just my opinion

  • http://www.solsticeretouch@gmail.com Pratik – Solstice Retouch

    In my humble opinion, the Mercedes definitely demonstrates a caliber of retouching that should have put it into first place. Thanks for putting on this competition, it’s nice to see everyone having fun first and foremost.

    wooowwwww

    the winner looks great! they left texture to the skin and it doesn’t look overly done. I don’t like the glove, but that’s for the original image ;)

    the mercedes… i didn’t expect any cars tbh. and I think it is overdone. the lighting on the floor looks a bit unreal, but maybe like car ads do look.
