Ok there are a lot of opinions out there and I appreciate the feedback. I've taken some of them into consideration in this version.

What's that you said about PP never being finished? Perhaps the irises need desaturating a touch......

A quick attempt.
Much much better, I like what you have done to the whites of the eyes. I would soften the light glare on her lip on our right side because if you really look at the light the main light is on our left and there is no light on our right side of her face that would indicate that much light on her lip. Just my thoughts , but it's looking good! :thumbup:

You don't say if you're open to more opinions :-) . On my screen it still looks a bit too yellow. One of the give-aways is the shadowed parts of her face. If a cheek has less light falling on it, it shouldn't have a yellow cast. If it was the bright bits that were yellow you could blame the light, but if the shadows are yellow, it must be the WB that's off.
I would also say that the whites of the eyes could do with being whiter. And the texture of the skin on either side of the nose isn't flattering and could do with being softened.

Didn't want to go to crazy on the eyes because they were too white before

Looks about spot on now. Lovely job indeed

I finally had to tinker cause I could not express in words what I thought the photo needed (for me at least). So here is my try: took saturation down quite at bit, worked on removing/smoothing out a few wrinkles, adding at touch of pink to the cheeks, and YES, messed with the eyes.

Wouldn't the catch lights in the eyes be on the same side?
One is on the left the other on the right?
Don't think that they look right that way.
Just my opinion - for what it is worth.

I know many out there do not like what Portrait Pro does to an image but I thought I would run it through anyway and reduce as much of the negative effects that I could. Then I ran it through PP and did a little adjustment on her right eye.....comments

I moved the catch light in her right eye.

Duplicated the catch light and it seems a little yellow after uploading to UH so I reduced that and added a little red

I'm watching all of these edits on my freshly calibrated screen and. . . . I can't figure out how so many are getting the WB so far off.
As was mentioned in an earlier comment, the problem is with the position of the lights on the original shot. The spectral highlights are not very good and can't really be corrected on PP. Most of the edits offered are overdone in my opinion.
