This is one of my better friends, Sarah. I did a slight crop, gaussian blur, left a tint of greyish blue in her eyes, and I adjusted the curves.

if you look at the mouth corner, it becomes obvious that the contrast ratio is to high and the the usm levels where to high as well. because of this, many aberations appeared.

I think she doesn't have enough space for her look...

Is this really basic editing (thinking mainly of the eyes)?

Somebody's got an unsharp mask fetish.

Nice picture, I see the artistic use of the tool. But I think the composition would be improved if you gave her some space to look into. If there were about a third more width to the image, on the left side, it would feel more balanced.
Keep it up!

Very nice.

WOW, love the reflection off the eyes. Great focus. Feels like there is a really sharp focus around the eyes, but a very soft feel everywhere else. I like this a lot.

The eyes look blue, or is it my imagination?

cool

The eyes are amazing - and I like the contrast in the photo. But this looks a bit too processed - almost like a charcoal drawing. Neat image?

IMO this suffers dramatically from over processing. It was obviously intentional, but does not suit my taste. 3
