critique of this post edited image

[robster]

ahem, excuse the model I was on my own in the studio last night and had nobody else. Was experimenting with lighting but had a stab at some PP tonight. Getting very tired now and have looked at it too long so I thought I'd ask for some feedback. See what people think of the image and whatnot. (imagine if you will, a rather attractive model, be it male/female )

So, what do you think? (I'm going for fashion mag stylin' here)

Too red?

As Justin said too red/orange. Even allowing for the look you were going for the colour and saturation need adjustment.

Nice point on the red, I am wondering if it's using the S curve technique, in fact, I'm sure of it. A bit of desaturation I presume? I'll play some more

There's just something unnatural about the eyes. It looks like cartoon eyes or eyes you'd see on a really huge teddy bear....

I particularly like the dark mood, but I think the PP has been a tad overdone to the point that you are starting to lose some detail in the face.

Here's a subtle revision trying to keep in mind the suggestions whilst keep the feel I'm going for.
