I think it is a fun photo but I'm not certain about the editing either. Do you have an unedited version of it?

I masked off both your teeth and eyes as there was an orange/reddish hue on the shot. Then I used the dodge tool.

I like the editing job it has this old 80s look to it.

what sort of treatment were you going for? or was it just a regular clean up you were trying for? Again, without the original or perhaps your goal in editing its hard to tell where you failed (if you did) or help get you where you wanted it..

I liked your first picture better than the later edit.

I think it would help alot if you corrected the aforementioned red hue and applied a lighter version of the whiter eyes/teeth.

Alternatively I think it would look awesome if you converted the original photo with a technique similar to this "How To Make Digital Photos Look Like Lomo Photography" ?
