Thank you so much everyone! I did everthing in Photoshop CS2. No actions or filters. Here's the link to the retouching technique I use:

I actually trained with the Glitterguru in June to learn it although I touch a little heavier than she does. If anyone's interested in a class from her here's the link to her website:

I HIGHLY recommend it! It changed my photography forever! #5047406

Great shot and demonstration of what digital retouching can do. How much time do you think you put in on this image? Those freckles had to be a challenge. #5392527
