After reading your comments I went and checked the image on a CRT
The problem was oversharpening. Here is the unretouched jpeg. LCD monitors, as I have learned look sharper, and I just overcompensated. Sorry about that. You were right.
Re: After reading your comments I went and checked the image on a CRT
you probably don't need your eyes checked. I hope not.
But you might want to look at each image objectively and take in all of the various aspects, composition, framing, subject, post processing, lighting, tonal range, pose, beauty of the subject, make-up and styling, etc. and look at the image as a whole package rather than just zooming in on the girl.
Ricks images normally hit high on all marks, so I commented on the over PS effect because that is so far off from what he normally does.
