My classmate Gracia. She's actually really self conscious about the way she looks and doesn't think she's very pretty. Silly girl.

Kept this one deliberately toned down.

You tell your friend Gracia that her name suits her as she is both lovely and full of a very quiet grace. At least that's what this picture tells me. You might try a square crop to take a bit of the tree away and put more of her face in the photo.

Again thanks, her nose is that way naturally, that's just the way it is.

The blue cast is deliberate. I think it looked nicer with a cool early evening type feel, so dropped the color temp and overall brightness a tad.

The face is touched up and worked a bit, but it's all skin work, no shape changes.

As to her hand being out of focus. That's the 50mm f/1.4. DOF is pretty shallow. No artificial blur was used, the plane of focus is as shot. The blur in her hair above her hand is similar.

In the preview, this looked like it had a bluish cast. Looks OK in the full-size version, though. It also looks like you have an editing problem running down the length of her nose - over highlighted, artificial selection. It looks like a similar problem above her jawline back towards her ear, but not as intense.

This is a very nice capture of a very attractive young lady. Please tell her I said so.
