My good friend Gaby again, the skin has a very light gaussian blur because it looked much better than the unwanted(dark)noise. Though it still has lots of texture once you see the larger file :P
Thanks again everyone for the comments and favs :)

Lovely portrait. Excellent lighting , makeup and model. Only nitpick is, the skin on her face looks too smooth, void of any subtle texture , unlike the skin on her shoulders, which looks great.
Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two now and I'm running late, sorry.
Her skin looks a little too smoothed (neatimage/noise-ninja?), but otherwise this is excellent work. I particularly like how all the colors seem to fall into one of two hues, the brown of her skin, eyes, and hair, and the blue of her eyeliner and earrings.
It's really hard to believe she's that perfect. A tad too much work done on the face. Figured out what bothers me. Her face is perfection, but her neck has texture. She looks to be a very beautiful woman. Despite that I still like the photo.
