only over exposed if you think of studio portraits. this is real life camera work. you captured all the elements of a wonderful portrait. her eyes are sharp and her gaze is absolutely wonderful. there is texture and context for this photograph. i hope you left it just the way it was. it was already good enough.

Ok Guys ! I think the message is clear, I wont touch a single pixel ! thanks for all your comments. I just wish you could see the original print though ! This is a portrait of my girlfriend(as you might guess if you've seen some of the other portraits in my portfolio). She has bright bright pale blue eyes, and with the Russian Snow, they became almost grey !!! She didn't like the similarity I made to a wolf - so I take it back and replace it with Husky !!!

Halid, I agree with the others... Leave the photo alone - it is a wonderful portrait and interest piece. I wish I had taken it. Perfect timing and everything... Cheers! Sam

I agree with you Halid - you have taken an amazing photgraph! Leave it as it is and let the original eyes do the haunting as they are! This is a stunning portrait!

Thanks Barry, and thaks everyone else for the comments.
I'm honestly not sure of the need for highlights in the eyes though. The thing I find most appealing is the fact that her eyes are in themselves very illuminous, (almost like a wolf) and so don't need the artificial addition. The power behind her look is sooo much stronger in the original, I assure you.
I really appreciate all your comments - thanks again,
Halid

Great shot Halid. I wouldn't change the exposure on the forehead...its a nice balance for the left and right sides of the frame. A few pixels of catchlights in her eyes might
create a pleasing effect. Otherwise, its definitely National Geographic quality work!

Halid,
I think the exposure on her forehead is perfect... if you went much darker, you would loose the contrast with those haunting eyes. Beautiful.
