I haven't done much here but lurk for a long time. I'm not a portrait professional by any means but still find use for the program even taking 'street' photos.
Sometimes I've gotten some good constructive criticism here, such as from Mr. Ting, and that's appreciated. Other times - not, to the point where I had the photo removed. But I'll give it another try.
Here's a straight out of camera photo, cropped and downsized; and then an 'after' photo, cropped and downsized, using Photoshop CS5 for some levels adjustments and slight touchups, and then Portrait Pro for a little more adjustment.
This was just a 'walk-around' shot - a 'walk up, say hi can I take a photo, thanks' and walk on to another area etc. So do you think I went too far with the skin tone and white balance, or not? I kinda like it how it is but am open to other thoughts.
