Hey Pat...
I am going to admit that I do not like the processed photo. I agree with Aimee about the eyes; but, at the same respect, I'm not a fan of selective coloring. I feel the skin smoothing was too much and that it wasn't needed.
For cropping, I feel this would be better cropped vertically instead of horizontally.
I think jiminyClickit's conversion is very well done.
