What pretty eyes. Could have covered up more skin colour though.

Great shot! The DOF really draws you to the eye. Hard to say but I think I might have tried to increase the exposure a bit. The left side of the eye seems a bit too dark to me. Just a thought.

The corner of the eye is sharp but the green of the iris is just relatively slightly off. If the focus has been on the centre of the eye this would have been great. Also, saturating the green a bit more and bringing out the catch light a bit more would have really made the eye sparkle and improve the overall image no end IMO

this is really cool, i like the composition and colors, my only complain is that the eyelids are not sharp, i think that would add a lot to the picture. Also, there's a lot of texture in the skin between the nose and the eye that take attention away from the eye itself. Maybe the lens focused on that area and not the eye?

Gorgeous eyes, but the colors don't appear to me the most important part of this picture
