This is another compelling portrait from you. Very well done. The blue of her eyes is very striking. I have to think that this was also intended for a portrait challenge. Jim H.

Thanks, everyone!
She is 15, from a happy family.She just has this "English Rose" complexion,I found irresistible and did not want to do anything about "blue tones".Her eyes are also deep blue natural.There is not much PP,just curves and sharpening.
I do not think her expression is sad.More like seriously inquisitive. She is not a child anymore and not a woman yet either.

First of all, I think you are a very talented photographer Elana. Your portraits are right up there, among the work of the best of pros! So, I take it that this looks the way you want it to and that the bluish, purplish skin tones around the eyes are indeed intentional? Together with the serious, perhaps even sad, facial expression, this makes me think along the lines of child and wife abuse... Was that your intention?
