 Yes her eyes are actually that colour! Took this shot while I was on a five week trip doing photography in cuba. On my vacation from shooting I hit up Varadero to relax on the beach meeting up with Linnea here from Sweden. Her eyes were the craziest blue I have ever seen. She gracefully posed for me while this storm rolled in over the horizon. Although this is no the tecnically best shot as her right eye isn't totally in focus I just loved the pose.

Curve Adjustment
Hue sat on the eyes
Healed some facial blemishes

I wish her other eye was in focus because the motion and color here are really cool

Either superb lighting or really well dodged & burned. Either way a great portrait.

I really like this one..a lot of impact to me. If I had to nit-pick, I would want the eyes sharper and the glare on the nose taken out.

She seems a little blurry to me. A little more depth of field would be nice.

Great shot. I would have softened the highlights just a bit to take the shine away. Overall wonderful capture.
