I really don't like B&W photo's with coloured bits. in this case you also went a bit overboard with the blueness of the eyes.

This is almost scary. I am not a fan of selective color, but can appreciate it if it is done well. Her eyes are way to saturated. You should had desaturated a little instead of going the other way. It should be reall soft not scary. The rest of the portrait is pretty but I have a hard time seeing anything else but those eyes.

Okay...seriously, I know you were going for a nice effect of isolating the color of the eyes against the rest of this composition, and you've done a fine job of that, but I find the effect very unflattering and...well...a little creepy even. Post-challenge, I might suggest two-toning this in a dark blue to match the hue of the eyes and complement--not isolate--them. Just a suggestion. 6 from me.

I don't know about the color in this. People seem strict here.

Nice shot but the blue eyes actually a) take away from the photo b) make it NOT black and white so this DNMC

Layer masked selective desaturation. Dissappointing.
