 I agree with melethia and wish we could see her eyelashes better. Actually, I wish her face was turned just a bit more to her left. Then I would really like this :)
Thanks for the generous comments and votes.

If you use Silver Efex Pro there are some simple things you can do in post that might be able to bring out the lashes (e.g., selectively boost structure, fine structure, contrast, black/white levels).

Ah, innocent fascination. B&W was a nice choice to direct the viewer to his/her intense captivation. The reflection does a good job of finishing the face.

The reflection, with eye in sharp focus, contends with the actual child for preeminence. Nice blocks and gradations of tone.

I wish we could see just a bit more of the real eye lashes - they get a little lost in the background. I like the reflected eye.
