In my humble opinion I think you may have over photoshoped the eyes - they seem too white to be natural. Overall though it is still a good quality portrait.

Yeah the eyes are overdone a bit but that could easily be sorted if you still have the PSD file and have the eyes on a seperate layer, any chance of uploading the original to mod?

Thanks Andy,

To smooth the skin i use the spot heal & clone tool to remove as many blemishes, freckles etc as possible.
Then i copy to a new layer and use surface blur as a layer mask by holding alt and clicking on layer mask button.
Using the white brush i paint the mask onto the skin then press x to switch to the black brush and go over the eyes and detail i want to keep sharp.
Once i'm happy with the area i back off the opacity to bring back the natural texture but retaining looking smoother skin.
To remove the cleft chin i cloned over the shadows with ajoining skin the used the healing brush to blend in the skin tones (before bluring) also you may have noticed i modified her lip slightly
