 USM, levels, channel mixer to desat, burned distracting bright spot near her cheek.

As usual, I expect that I like this one more than anyone else.

Actually all I did was adjust levels, desat and dodge the eyes a bit. The eyes were just very clear in the original.

How much of her eyes are edited? Fantastic shot either way!

The highlights actually detract from the "windows" in this otherwise very creative idea.

Wow those eyes combine with the over exposed face. This is really striking. Nice Job

lovely sharpness in her eyes I would have liked to see more texture in her skin in the blown out areas though. I like the tilt in her eyes and the hint of her mouth peeking in

i love the eyes, but your cropping needs improvement.

Love the eyes in this shot -- very evocative!

I don't think the crop should have been halfway through the mouth - above or below.
