i love this picture of me...I think it's the best i've taken...but just can't seem to adjust it right...I want to enhance my eyes more...since they are my best feature. Please do what you can do this picture...it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ahead!!

We need an original to work from, there are visible PP artifacts in this example, no way to work from that.

First thing I did was to eliminate the BG distractions through selective Gaussian blur, then added shading to round your face more in order to put your eyes on top of a sphere instead of somewhere on a 2 dimensional plane, then went in to almost individual pixels to delineate the eyes (there were a lot of smudged colors competing within the top eye socket) and finally cropped the shot a bit tighter so your eyes pretty much HAD to be predominant. See what you think here.
(edit) forgot to mention I also lightened the catchlights in the eyes, always a good attractor.

Can you post the original before post processing was done? It will be hard to bring out the eyes after they have been processed.

I think you'd have better luck infront of a wall or something than that backdrop. Or even a white sheet with some lighting on it.

Not sure what you were going for here, but that's a weird pose.

What would I do?

Reshoot.

You are a lovely young lady. I will agree that you should try to shoot again because the position you are in looks uncomfortable and is robbing you of the effect that I believe you were looking for. If you keep trying you will get an even better shot and you will be much happier with it. I promise you.
