BEFORE



AFTER



Crop, curves, USM, duotone, vignette, and an adjustment layer to lighten the whites of the eyes, lighten the iris, darken the pupil, and addition of a catchlight.

I think I should have taken the time to smooth the texture in the model's cheek.

PJCA I like the image and I like the way you post processed it, although I have to say I thought the original composition before the crop made it a more interesting picture (I think the longer netting (hammock?) balances the picture beautifully).

I like the 2nd: the model looks packaged in the first and the good processing popped it a bit, for my taste.

I really like the composition of this picture, and the eye enhancement really makes the difference too.
