Default Too Much Eyes?

I love the treatment that I did with the blue selectives... but, did I go overboard on definition of the eyes?

S_0039

Camera Nikon D40
Exposure 0.017 sec (1/60)
Aperture f/5.6
Focal Length 55 mm
ISO Speed 200

New to this forum. First message. Hope this helps

Next time try putting the eyes on a separate layer, Do the changes then lower the opacity of that layer.
The eyes will not "jump out " as much then

It looks a little spooky.

Dial em down just a lil and it'll be an awesome shot. I love doing B/W with color eyes. Out of every shoot I do I always pick one shot to do that with.

The eyes might be a little over the top but I can't really focus on them because of the color left on her dress; it draws my eyes down and I don't really see her face at all. I would try selective color on just the eyes. Also, I think the black and white could be stronger.

To be completely honest, I find these types of pictures a bit played out. But if you still would like to continue using this style, I'd definitely say tone down the blue's a bit. It is rather distracting, as was stated before.
