Default Catchlights overdone?

Did I go to far dodging these catchlights? Particularly her right eye. And if there's anything else you see that I didn't, please let me know.

Yes, and the background is blown as well.

The pretty girl’s face is very asymmetrical.

Yes, I think the eyes are a bit overdone. Yes, it is desirable to not blow out backgrounds, but honestly I didn't really focus on that. Her teeth maybe too bright? It can be easy to overdo the PP once you get going. And of course it is ridiculous to critique the geometric validity of her face She's lovely and it's a nice shot.

Thank you guys for confirming my suspicions. I did notice the background, that's why I went b/w. It was more of a distraction in color. Photologyst what do you mean by her face is asymmetrical? What is asymmetrical about it? DaddyO, as far as her teeth go, that is natural, no PP there haha. She just has really great teeth. And thank you for the compliment on the shot. This was from my first try at doing a proper portrait session.
