Sorry but it looks like she is an evil little girl in a horror movie. For me the spot color does not work in this one. - Dave

Beautiful subject and nice overal tone of image. I would steer clear of selective color... It's passé.

My opinion, take the original photo and desaturate it a bit so it is close to black and white with washes of color. It is a shame to lose her blue eyes, but I have to agree with others, this one doesn't work with selective color

I agree with the other Hogs, eyes to saturated in the first photo. Much better in the second.

Selective color is a technique that is rarely an improvement to an image today. In this case the eyes also seem to be unnaturally bright and of a tone that is a little to blue to be real. A more natural blue grey as opposed to the ice blue would tone this down and maybe help it work

Color spot changes the mood of the image - in this case not for the better.
The first image has the best contrast.
After seeing the color version B&W was a good choice. IMO there is a little to much neg space . :thumbup:

Re-do is a definite improvement. The blue-eye thing was creepy.
Very few selective color images work.
