A nice idea and beautiful eyes but the lighting and contrast seem rather harsh and detail is lost in darker areas (especially around her right eye) which is rather distracting.

it appears that the fabric over the nose was the focus point, leaving the eyes a bit soft.

Way too much photo shop work on this image. It is unnatural. Get it in the camera next time. Over saturated too.

Not bad but the whites look overly whitened and unnatural.

Well I can't deny that the eyes are beautiful. I think the whites look a bit too white though

Wouldn't it be funny if you removed the vail and it was a dude. That would crack me up.

Nice, but almost overprocessed on the title item.

Nice sharpness but the lighting seems far too harsh. Cropping quite a lot of the image off from the top helps create a much stronger image and really focuses us on those great eyes.

the eyes should be the sharpest part of the image and thes don't seem like it here. I do like the color and composition.

The white's of the eyes look a bit too white/fake, but overall this is a very nice photo.
