I didn't know we could only post one photo. Sorry about that, I edited the post now.

EXIF data and a particular question are in the rules, too.

That being said, I'm not wild about the overexposure. Not sure if that was in-camera or during post-processing. The eyes are WAY overdone IMHO. I'd actually love to see a SOOC if you have one. I'm not a fan of the washed-out look from the post work, either.

Again, I'd love to see a SOOC. I think this shot has a lot of potential, but I'm just not crazy about the editing.

It's a really cool shot! But it does look way over-exposed. Whether that happened when you took it, or when you were editing it, that can be fixed easily. You can turn down the exposure, and turn up the shadows a little in the shadows/highlights meter. Like I did here- see the attachment.

The eyes look fine to me. And I would also love to see the SOOC. It is a great shot. It just needs the exposure worked on a little, in my opinion.
