Beautiful eyes yes. Not sure if you did this or not, but the whole image feels way post processed. The skin looks like it was hit with Neat Image, and then the hair sharpened seperatley. If it wasn't in post processing, then the image is somehow giving off a very artifical feel.

Looks like a lot of NeatImage, or whatever you use to reduce noise.

please bear with me on this. this is a tough challenge to vote, not just because of its size, but because we are looking at images that people consider to be their best from the past year--and most people have a bit more personal attachment to these images than to one they might submit for a challenge called "kitchen objects".

you do have a beautiful model, and i hope you have many, many opportunities to photograph her. in this image, though, yes, her eyes are beautiful, but the image is processed to the point that she no longer looks natural. i hope you are getting some good comments and suggestions, and that you are not getting overlooked in this monster-sized challenge; if not, don't take it personally; just consider this a good starting point for the rest of the year. good luck in this and all the coming challenges!

Sorry but i really do not like the plastic look to the face. It looks like it`s been put through neat image with the incorrect settings.

could be good but look very very overprocessed.

Comment by dwterry:
This has been oversharpened. You can see it along the edge of the chin, throughout the hair and eyebrows, on the lips, etc. Yet it also looks softened. Perhaps NeatImage was used? Sometimes NI is too agressive and you have to turn it down so you don't soften too much or sharpen too much.
