First let me thank you all for your input! It really helps to have all these extra (and fresh!) eyes looking at it! I think I've incorporated most all of your suggestions so far - with the exception of Lisa's comments which I am only just now seeing. I broke one of my cardinal rules and messed with the skin tone on her arms without benefit of daylight... so I expect I'll have to tone that color down a bit tomorrow.
Kim - Thanks, I've adjusted both the shadows and the eyebrow. I think it helped.
Lisa - You're right, I do need to adjust her lower lash line on her left eye, it's a little bowed out, isn't it? And yes, I am continuing to push the arms towards a finish/color like the face. Really need daylight to finish them up (hopefully tomorrow). I need to rework the background a bit to smooth in the patches where I corrected some shapes, I'll look at some of her 'outside' edges at that point to see if they need adjusting (Edge quality is something that I really have to work at!).
Not sure I like the overall background color too well, it's a bit too green for me - but the client didn't want me to change it. I think a more toned down green would be a little softer with her. Should I push her on this?
Thanks again! I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of your input!
(Note: I replaced the earlier 'red' photo with one taken in daylight.)
