The colors and texture of the scarf are great, but there's been way too much work done on the eyes it appears. The whites don't look natural.

I think the post processing - especially noise reduction is a bit overdone. It's still a good image but I'm sure the PP is masking a great image.

I'm hoping others don't think the eyes are overworked as I do. *sigh*

The composition, focus, and colors are wonderful... but the eyes, especially the whites, are bothering me.
