took this outside my house around 10am. Very cold and blustery outside...brrr

Duplicate Layer
Desat.
Erased over the eyes

adjusted curves a bit for better contrast.

I didn't do any color altering to the eyes at all. I was surprised to see they showed up so blue, but I guess it's due to the sunlight.

Some of you suggested no glasses and black & white... so there I am. I can't see a thing either. :)

Not wild about the single sat on the eyes, but heh, we all have to play now and then. What if you did a little levels adjustment to enrich the overall tones?? Or maybe adjust contrast? The focus and overall appeal is there.

Very genuine smile and good clarity. Not sure the selective desat is my favorite here, but it's a strong portrait nonetheless. Very good lighting control.

nice work, feels very natural. If I would do nyhting different it would be to slightly desaturate your eyes so there is more of a nit of blue, but that is some serious nitpicking. I really like it.

Man I look old. Would it be too vain to PS the bags out from under my eyes. :)
