Jon:

I like the lighting overall, pretty dramatic, but would be tempted to brush in a little increased exposure in the area around the eye. Subtle.
 
Looks good Randy, I did increase that area exposure but yours is better - did you add more saturation /vibrance or point colours?

John:

Just a curves adjustment . No color or sat changes. Brushed in the change with a 30% soft brush.

Thanks Randy - I would not have thought of doing that - (useful tip)! Sorry for late reply - been having problems with PC but hopefully getting it sorted out.
