Yeah, the eyes look very unnatural.

Picture looks a bit low in quality. Do you have a better image to use? Printing this would probably result in some pretty visible pixelated areas, especially if you wanna blow it up. Be careful about changing face shape because it'll be pretty obvious if you change it too much. Don't fix the eye color at all. If you must, use the burn tool (set to a soft brush) to make her eyes a bit darker and make them stand out more. You could also think about bringing up the colors and contrast in the image, to make it pop more.

Basically what me and Christy said :)

I personally would choose a higher-quality image, but it's a nice picture.

86 the green-eyes, like everyone else said but she also looks a bit too washed out still, IMO.


Like here:
All I did was add a curves layer with:
Regular: Input 34 Output 44
Blue/Yellow: Output 7 Input 44
and then added a color layer of #f6f6f6 to Color Burn.




I would also LIGHTLY blur the areas I dashed red...just to give it the look of a sharper focus on the subject and not so much on the background.

Totally agree about the eyes. There's also something weird going on under her nose. _unsure.gif

Use the dodge tool to brighten the eyes, and maybe mess around with the skin tone with a soft quick brush from the burn tool.
