Kelly, to answer your question about processing on this photo, I really didn't do that much. I did my standard defog, sharpen up a bit, pump up the colors, etc. For her eyes, I just did what I always do to eyes, which is whiten the whites and catchlights a bit. Then I just did a subtle unsharp mask on the irises. I thought I was done, but then I went back into ACR and applied the Phoenix preset from the Road Trip set. That blew it out a bit, so I just pulled down the whites and that was it.
This one isn't SOOC, but it's what I had before applying the preset. Nothing major was done except boosting the colors a bit and sharpening. I really never have to do much to her eyes, because believe it or not, they're that cool in real life. I'm so jealous. LOL!
It's funny, but it's REALLY hard to get a good black and white or sepia shot of Hannah. See, she has those really dark blue rings around the outside of her irises. Gorgeous in real life, but when you convert a photo into black and white or sepia, they tend to look ridiculous. She has pale skin too, so usually a black and white ends up being a ridiculous white face with REALLY dark eyes and it looks kind of demonic. LOL!
