I love this pic of my daughter Brittany, but knew the arm in the background had to go. Then I decided I would attempt to smooth out her skin and enhance her eyes. This is the before and after. I know eyelashes look a little over done but looked great when I printed it out.

Sorry, but I much prefer the "before" picture. The "after" one looks very artificial, with a plastic-like skin. And you somehow managed to distort the picture vertically: in the original picture the pupils and the tip of the nose are in an equilateral triangle; while; in the "after" picture, the equilateral triangle with a side across the pupils is almost on the mouth.

I actually think the effect you got on the picture is pretty cool.

I agree with ofnuts on the aspect ratio. It got stretched out of proportion when you resized.

Yeah I am really struggling with to resize a picture without distorting it. I clicked the little chain when I resized so I don't know.
