Heres a shot of my lovely wife and her beautiful eyes! It was tricky to get the effect I wanted without using selection tools but it I thought it turned out pretty good. I'm hoping it will do a little better than my others that both earned around a 4.9.
Shot in raw, sharpened, adjusted exposure, cropped, unsharp mask, desaturated most colors except the blues and cyans, increased saturation and adjusted hue of blues and cyans, border added, resized and exported as jpeg.

Beautiful blue eyes! I think the shot could be improved by having her skin tones in a natural hue; they could be muted so the eyes would still dominate the shot.
