This is my BEAUTIFUL daughter-in-law, Natalie! She has the most beautiful eyes and skin you would EVER want to see. Unfortunately. . .her natural beauty got really distorted by my psycho over-processing. I really wish I could delete this one because it doesn't do her justice, and it's one of those "Oh noooooo. . .what was I THINKING" shots :)

I feel it is just a tad too much processing on the eyes, I feel they have to be sharper and maybe a catchlight also. Very nicely lit and a beautiful subject. good luck.6
I like the composition/close up, but find that the image is a bit too dark and there's no "pop" in the eyes. They lack catch-light. In addition, I think you've used a noise reduction program a little too stronly here. Would have preferred to see more detail in the skin.
Is this a real person--the skin looks too perfect if that is possible. There is also no reflection in the eyes either--which gives an unreal look. It's strange, makes me keep looking at it--not sure if I see passion, but it sure is interesting.
I would have like some more sharpness in her eyes. It looks like the softening (gausioan blur?) also affected the white of her eyes and that looks unnatural...
okay.... i'm sure you have gotten LOTS of "too much neatimage" comments, so I'll skip over how plasticy the shot looks. It's a bit on the dark side, especially for those who have uncalibrated monitors. I do like the comp here & it seems like a nice crisp shot.
I think this might have been better with less processing (neatimage?) as it has ended up with a plastic feel to it. Nice shot though, and truly beautiful eyes.
Very nice and smooth feeling. Soft focus effect? NeatImage? I'm sure you'll get plenty of people complaining that it's got 'too much NeatImage', regardless of whether you actually used it. Whatever. I like it. Nice white eyes although the irises are a bit blurred, which is the one part that feels funny, one expects to see the natural radial patterns in them.
