Black Tears

i like the sharpness in the area of the pupil, which provides a clear view on the beautiful unevenness of this texture. the color of the pupil is digitally brightened. this technique helps to make the structure easier visible, but in this case it's a little too harsh, since it makes it a bit too obvious, that a sharpening tool, such as unsharp mask, has been used. only partial brightening of the pupil could help avoiding this effect. a pronunciation of a circle around the pupil could be done, but hasn't. the contrast between the silvery shimmering, dark area above the eye and the softened skin is confusing, because the colors don't harmonize. the makeup is applied with profession. bright makeup is applied on the right corner of the eye, which helps to pronounce it. it's questionable weather the tear on the right corner should cover that bright spot or better be left away. the tears aren't running vertically down, but it would be nicer if they would. the reason for this effect could be, that the picture was turned by some degrees, in order to give the eye a special angel with the inner corner lower than the outer corner. this hasn't to be done that harsh.
rule of thirds is beautifully followed, but it would be even nicer if the eye was in the left upper corner, instead of the right, as the area left of it isn't as interesting as the nose-part. another suggestion for improvement might be, that the contrast in the black tears could be raised, so that the bright spots are even a little brighter, especially in the left and middle section. this work shows that the artist is talented, but is a example for the fact that many, especially young artists are aspiring towards ideals. ideals, which are hid in this picture, are the brightness of the pupil and the angle in which the eye is turned.
only three stars for originality, because the concept of "black tears" isn't that new.
