Please don't retouch...

I'm in the process of being "tested/interviewed" to retouch a lookbook. They asked me if I could retouch along these lines:


Which is what exactly? I'm not sure? This image doesn't look to be retouched at all!

I sent them back this:


This is unretouched other than a B&W conversion and a little bit of dual-toning to emulate what I see are the tinges of orange highlights and potential purple/green tints in the shadows on their reference image.

What do you think? They looked at my work and basically said, we don't need anything retouched to that degree... should I be insulted or happy?
