Hi all.  I've been working on my retouching and I'm hoping some of you out there can offer any suggestions as to how this could be better.  There's just something just not quite right.  Please be nit-picky and harsh, I'd really like to improve.

Going to bed now, but I'll check back in the AM to rework it some more.

Thanks

Edit: Skin tone perhaps?

You've completely removed the bottom eyelid.  It instantly makes the image look unnatural.  There is a difference between eyelids and dark circles.  Also, you made the color of her skin very unnatural.  I think you're changing things that don't need to be changed.  You're doing too much.
