Well at least it wasn't the worst. I understand why some saw blue in the whites of the eyes, though printed they come out white. I've redone this picture a number of times in my portfolio, I think the last one is probably the best, though I believe it would have been against the rules.
The one thing I do not understand is how I can get comments of nice focus on eyes, and you didn't focus on the eyes.
I would appreciate comments on this as well as the other renditions of it.
Back to comment: You did a nice job of getting a sharp focus on the girl's eyes but the colors in this image look weird. I'm not sure if you tried selective desaturation or had to crop this image a lot but the background has a weird cast and the girl's face (except for the eyes) look washed out. Part of this may be related to your file size being only 100 kb. The challenge rules allow for images up to 150 kb. The extra 50 kb might have helped the background in this image. I also betting that a little work in post processing with levels or curves could have brought about a bit more life in the face.
