"What BIG EYES you have"!
"All the better to see you my dear..."
I know I used a bit too much photoshop on this image. This was taken when I was first learning photography and the editing process. I've grown alot since then. I will always love the eyes in this image but I do agree about her skin. Thank you everyone for all your kind comments!!!!!!

this reminds me of the girl on Nat Geo. you did such an amazing job with this, this is book worthy material.

Sean-Michael Gettys gave props (14 Sep 2009):
nice surreal post processing. Looks very faery tale. Not at all like the Nat Geo girl to me, his work is more raw and detail, all the detail but the eyes is blown out here, I presume intentionally, and it goes well with "wrong turn"

Sophie marie nevoux said (29 Sep 2009):
i see no response for the eye photoshop trick, but i would say: Dodge Tool, with tweaked Highlights and the Exposure range, over the iris..

Amanda Chapman said (4 Feb 2011):
Thanks everyone for your comments! This seems to be my most liked picture...ever. I know there are mixed critiques regarding the editing. This was one of my first photos when I became a photographer. I was very new to the camera and photoshop. I do have the original and have considered a re-edit. However, It is what it is...and I'm kinda found of it :)
Thanks again!
