Thanks! I agree, her eyes are beautiful. They are definitly hers, with just a little enhancement from Adobe. :) I think I just cloned out a couple blood vessels, and slightly brightened. But other than that, they're all hers!

The angle, pose and composition all work well together here. I might suggest still lighting her from a little higher.

The light needs to be higher. General recommendation: 45 degrees up and 45 degrees over. Looks like you may have it 45 degrees to her right, but it's straight across (actually just a little bit lower than she is). Which is highlighting the bottom of her cheek. Her smile in her cheeks will be more flattering if the light comes from up above.

A tip given to me by several master photographers: Either go full profile or keep her nose within the cheek line. Here her nose has extended past the cheek line. Turning her head back towards you by just a few degrees will bring the nose back inside the cheek line and will let you see more of her left eye.

I'm not sure I care for this one, and it's not the braces. I think maybe it's a little too close in and the lighting shows all her pores in a way that does not appeal to me.
