I like your image. The trick to learn with post-editing is to make skin smooth and soft, not blury and plastic-like. Bluring techniques do work, but only with other things involved like masks, blending modes and grain. I have seen some top magazines lately with some terrible editing. I always *sigh* when I see plastic skin or bad air brushing or an obvious body modification in post editing. I recently even saw the catchlights edited in the models eyes on a cover...on THE WRONG SIDE! All the light is from the left, the catch is in the right. Looked spooky to me.
