nice strong use of color here except the red on the left side seems to be on the verge of being blown... as strong as this is ... you may have elected to pull back the red channel just a touch

I think that the basic editing rules would have allowed you to clean up the black specs. Overall I like the image

Easter Egg?

actually I like the use of the colors ... would have been better IMHO to extend the yoke at the bottom of the frame

neat idea... if the orange (red?) spill could have been controlled on the left a little more

Not that anyone will read this ... but
The lack of "catchlights" is the result of the lighting style...
a large softbox is 90 degrees to the right of the model at about 18inches and silver reflector on the left to give some fill to the shadow side. the model was placed toward the forward wall of the softbox to create the feathered lighting. The blue light on the back left side of the face mask is controlled spill from the gelled background light.

Because there is no lighting to reflect a "catchlight" in front of the pupil of the eye and the lighting is so soft ... there is not a bright specular in the eye...It is by design.

This lighting style is a modification of one used by a photographer named Joe Craig.

What would I have changed ... the 2 speculars on the left eye. I like the deep shadow on the left side as it adds to the mood I was trying to create.

this could have been very nice... a couple of things dont work for me ...
the lighting seems to be flat really really needs to boost the contrast and drop the exposure a tad.

you have a copystand type lighting happening here. play with moving the main light a little more to center
