Blue eyed girl

Taken at Fota Wildlife center in Cork, Ireland while there on vacation. I loved her blue eyes. She gave me full eye contact if I talked to her.

Great direct eye contact, those ice blue eyes are very striking Karen.
Neat expression as well, an almost 'quizzical' look here

Thank you Howard.
It does not look quite as sharp down loaded here.
It was a spectacular place!!!

A great capture, but even greater is the skillful processing you have demonstrated here. Excellent job of highlighting the facial area. There's no mistake as to where the viewers' eyes would or should settle.
I might consider actually darkening the eyes a bit. The upper portion, especially, looks a bit blown out.

Thank you Michael for your kind comments and good advice. If memory serves me right

I think I could have brightened them a tad.
