Obviously contacts or editing - there's kind of a glow on the right edge of the right iris which I'm sure isn't natural. The overhead angle makes it look like a caricature - big head with a tiny body somewhere below. Very good DOF; the lighting is good except the shadow of her nose makes her face seem non-symmetric.
very similar to the second place shot from the last color portrait, the lighting here is nicely done but the coloring of the eyes is just unnatural and kind of throws off the beautiful warm natural tones of the rest of the portrait, i think for a more icy look they could use less saturation for a colder less rich in color kind of look in them
Pretty eyes. I've heard it recommended that you outline the eyes with black (or a dark shade of the color of the eyes) in order to add a little "depth".
