    I really like that first shot. In the second, they eyes appear much over worked. They don't "match up" to the rest of the image and, in fact, make her teeth appear yellow.deal.gif
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Very cute model.
    One has the potential to be a very nice shot...but the large watermark has to go for that to happen.
    Also looks underexposed.
    Two is also underexposed and as mentioned the eyes are over done.
    With eyes and teeth....if you feel you MUST work them over, less is definitely more.

    The Very Best portrait photographers....I mean really good... and editing experts...can get away with doing a lot of work to eyes and teeth because it fits in with their overall processing. Average photos do not stand up well to extra editing of the eyes and teeth.....so easy to overdo it and then it just looks odd.

    I love the eyes. They grab you like a boa constrictor and don't let go.

    Beautiful model, but you need more work on this photo. I think eyes color look dull.

    I like #1, but I think I'd work a little more light into her eye area.
    #2 - Demon eyes. Too weird for me.

    Thanks all for your CC.
    I get a little carried away with her eyes #2 when working really closeup on the eyes.

    You must have 'straightened' #2 because her earring is hanging at about a 30* angle to vertical. Really wierd.

    I've made some adjustment to her eyes and crop angle on #2 base on all the comments.
