Took this shot using my (new) Canon 50mm 1:2.5 macro lens when she was in the bath. The original RAW colour version just begged to be B&W. It was my wifes idea to bring out her eyes which really are that colour.

This is a delightful child portrait and the black and white tones are very nice. I must admit that I find the artificial looking blue and pinpoint catchlights in the eyes a bit offputting.
Less intensity on the blue and this would be more appealing. On a more nit-picky note...there seems to be a little bleeding of the blue into the whites of the eyes. I like the angle of her head...it adds the the character of the image.
She is beautiful no doubt but I feel you have made the eyes to blue, they don't look like they belong in her face. I do like selective desat but in this case it is a bit to overwhelming. Nice angle but I would love to see this done without the too vibrant blue. 5
