Have you whitened the eyes in PS or are her eyes naturally that white. The left eye looks too white.

Apologies to you if they are natural, also apologies to her

I lightened her eyes in Photoshop because they were in the shade. I also increased contrast and saturation very slightly to emphasise the eyes. Perhaps I overdid her right eye.

Have you tried doing it this way. Use quick mask to select the eyes,invert selection and Ctrl+j to copy to new layer. Add a curves adjustment layer and link to the eyes layer. All ajustments will now affect both eyes the same keeping the correct balance.

Great portrait, Nice shadows
