    i really like this, but it'd be so cool to have everything out of focus except her eyes.

    Good choice changing the blue to red....it really makes the eyes pop! Beautiful use of natural light as well!

    this is just gorgeous! What an expression...she's getting better for sure!

    I know everyone's gushing about her eyes (nice job btw) but I can't stop looking at her lips for some reason. They're bare but very seductive (er, well, to this heterosexual female), I can't quite put my finger on it, but they really stand out to me.

    ETA: one nitpick...looks like the skin blur on her forehead was a little heavy/obvious. She's got hair over her forehead, so you might either avoid that area entirely, or clone it out.

    Wow, this is a great photo. Very few portraits make me really pause like this!

    I would spend some more time on the skin. It looks wayyy too processed.

    I really like it, it reminds me of the "Afghan Girl" from that National Geographic picture in 84
