“ Gateway ”

We sit here staring silence into each other’s eyes but somehow saying everything. It’s like a gateway to the meat of the issue. Without rigid words in the way to trudge through, trip on, assign different meaning to. We are speaking a language ancient as the love I think we feel or have felt or ...

According to my Photoshop histogram, the contrast could use a little bump. Not much - just a little.

And I think it would be a little more dynamic if you cropped in closer - not off the top, but off the right side, and the bottom. That would really force attention to your eye.

Lastly, I don't believe your hair is that shade of cyan... ? To get the eye color to pop you added blue or cyan to your image, but another way would be to create an adjustment layer for just your iris, leaving the rest of the image alone. Just a thought.

Regardless, I think it's a beautiful photo of a beautiful woman. Nice job!
