Gorgeous model. Stunning eyes. A little sloppy on the post processing skin blur bleeding across hairline.

It seems you missed the mark, focus-wise, and tried to correct in post. Somewhat botched up IMO (loss of detail and some oversharpening). Sorry, JMO. Good luck.

Very nice picture, but the eyes seem over processed, imo. Otherwise, very nice. (voting later)

I think this started out as a really, really good shot... but then it was over-processed (to my taste). (not voting)

Beautiful girl... looks just a bit over-edited, though. The skin looks like it has been edited to the point that it's blurred.
