Urm.. you obviously want people to focus on the eyes, but for me they are too blue. Toned down to a subtler grey-blue would work better for me.

The lips need to be sharp'd too they dont match up to the crispness of the eyes

 

[inaneredstripe]

wow. realy bites you on the butt.

not quite sure why, bu i prefer number 2.
my daughter would love this shot.

I like the close crop, really makes you focus on those eyes - which are a bit too blue for me in #1, better in the second one. I would agree about the lips, having said that I really like them

 

[natjag]

even though those eyes are blue, I think the devil is looking at me.

 

[Shane]

Thanks for the replies

I personally really like this shot. I like the over blue eyes, but i also like the toned down eyes. I do prefer the sharpened lips though.

I prefer shot no 2, because in no1, the eyes are a bit tooblue for me. Love the shots tho.

Shot 2 is a belter and definately different to the norm.

You pulled it off well.
