Sorry, I might've rushed to judgment. You are right! But the image is very "soft", which originally led me to my conclusion.

I don't own Photoshop...and I wouldn't know how to use it if I did have it. Never touched under the eyes. Must have been what the .5's & 1's were all about Sonnik? They read your post. Too bad because you were way off base on this.

Thanks Patty & pbnjennisandwich for your votes of confidence!

I don't see it either, Sonnik. Even magnified, this image looks clean to me. I wonder if your monitor isn't doing it justice. -Beautiful shot, BTW! -Congratulaions on your placing!

I disagree. This is a gorgeous shot and not over-processed.

The area under the eyes has been butchered in Photoshop. Way overdone.
