My goal for this photo was to emphasize the eyes.

What you would do #6

What I did:
-Cropped to establish a rule of thirds composition (eye, nose, eye).
-Duplicated layer
-Desaturated the duplicate layer
-Adjusted the midtones of the duplicate layer (-30)
-Erased the eyes on the duplicate layer to allow the yellow eyes on the original layer to show through
-Increased saturation of the eyes quite a bit
-Cloned out some eye blemishes to make them more uniform
-Also cloned the pattern from the left eye into the right eye so the two eyes would match better
-Added a 'sunburst' to the light spot in the left eye
-Added borders
