Oh my, the left/right right/left left/right side is blurry. I hope she can see ok with that one clear eye :D

For the record, I wasn't going for the perfect shot but I did want the eye in focus. It really doesn't bother me that both eyes are not in focus. And if you look at this with one eye open, it's even better ;-)

What a beguiling face!!! Too bad about the blurred eye. I love my lensbaby, but have had a few disappointments with it too ... near misses on the focus.
A fresh approach to portraits! And yes, it does work! Check out Zigomar's stuff (if he still has a live portfolio) for portraits done with the Lensbaby.
She would be fresh if her entire face was in focus. Here it looks like you were shooting at about f1.8 and with such close distance you had maybe less than an inch of depth of field in total...
She has such beautiful eyes that I'm sad to see one of them blurred like that. It makes her face look unsymmetrical, which seems strange. She has beautiful skin, but since this is an advanced editing, you could have done just a little bit of spot editing to make her look absolutely flawless, which is usually a desirable element in a portrait, especially of a girl in her age bracket. That said, this is still a nice portrait.
