A twist on a fantastic original. Taken with natural light in a furniture store (of all places) because they had large windows and proper face to sunlight for evening.
From original photo, I cropped to size, cleaned a dust spot and + saturation (looked like it lost some color after conversion from RAW to jpg for web).

The eyes do not stand out - the left one is in the (rather harsh) shade and he whites could have been dodged a bit to increase the effect. Otherwise nice expression on the model.
Sorry, not trying to offend you but this doesn´t even come close to the original, the only thing I see similar is a girl and a cloth around her head. The composition, post processing, expression on the girl and especially the lighting are MUCH better in his shot. This is hardly bad though, you just picked a really hard shot to imitate and I think I am being overly hard on you for that reason. I ended up giving this a 5.
that's a nice shot...i might have cropped a bit off the top to draw more attention to the eyes, also the shadow on the right eye covers it up a bit..good attempt 7
