The eyes are sharp, but the rest of the face slightly soft focus, very well done.

This one is a tad blurry and desat looks a bit blue. Also the shadow falling from above shadows the eyes a bit.

Don't know what you did, but the eye's really pop. Unfortunatly, the shadow behind her and the over softening knocks it down a bit.

Wow, that's almost a true monochrome. Too blue for me.

I don't like the blueness of the picture.
It would had been better if she was a little less centered, more on the ihgt would had been more comfortable to look at. It's also a bit soft for me.

editing is heavy and very evident. the eyes are overworked and there is something fishy about the background seperation.

I like it very much but there is a weird shadow on a wall (?) which somehow detracts maybe.

a little to soft focus for my tastes. Consider cropping off the space behind her, would bring more focus to her eyes
