The success of your photo is quite obvious once one looks closer at these eyes. The line (A) indicates a bigger source of light to her left. The direction is betrayed by the shadow line in her eyes (C). The line (B) indicates most likely a fill in flash, which gave you the nice white.

The rest of the colours of in this image are not tone neutral and you can see quite a difference in your image and my sample which attempts to remove any tonal casts. But that is irrelevant for the eyes which had enough illumination to become white.

This is a very good example Troy of how light set up helps the exposure.

thanx Ted,
to be honest, its hard for me to understand exactly what you're saying here, but if its a good thing then an even BIGGER THANX to you!
BTW, no flash was used in this picture.

Troy,

it simply means you had enough light in this photo for white of the eyes to stay white. And the position of that light was very good - more light from the white side of the eye.

If you did not use a flash, what was that other light?

You can tell it isn't an onboard flash because it isn't directly in the centre of her eye.

Most likely a lamp or something in the room.
