Good job again. Only the crop is a let down. i think the model's posture makes her look uncomfortable in this tighter frame. Not much you could have done about that.
Hi Carl,
I actually have a very detailed, step by step tutorial for this type of retouch using Channel Masking. 19 pages with lots of screenshots. I need to contact the owner of the photos I used originally to see if he'll give me the OK to make it available to the public. If so, I'll send you an email. If not, I'll have to redo the tutorial and drop in some images/screenshots of my own.
Regards,
Bill

Again, here would be a nice spot to have a full tutorial with downloadable files to see the process. How you use chanels and layer masks, selective color balancing, etc and ultimately the background replacment.
