I like the new version much better than the original:

This one has a much smoother texture without losing sharpness.
I missed the first one so I'll comment on the composition here, too. I like the way you've picked out just enough details to let us know this is a child, but left pretty much everything else out. Good job.

Thanks Adam, I also like this one better.
And thanks also for putting in that link for me (I would have done it, but didn't know how to!!)

Sarah,funny how we can tell by just '1 eye' that this is a child looking back with pure thoughts. Haven't seen your other one but this is very NICE.

This is a lovely shot. I love the tight crop and the eye is gorgeously sharp. Well done!

Wow Sarah! It's amazing what a difference it makes after you digitally altered it. Although the original has the same composition this one blows it away. It really looks better. The smooth skin and the absence of the deep shadows makes her eye stand out as a subject, and it is so sharp. A very clever composition, a different one. This shot is quite unique and I think you did a superb job. Oh yeah, the eye is sooooo sharp, you can count the lashes.

Nice tones and catch light. Looks like you've mastered desaturation.

Beautiful eye that stands out perfectly. My only problem here being the crop - which I find awkward. I'd have cropped a bit more at the bottom and some at the top too, and a bit on the right. The closer you get to panoramic, imo, the better the odd crop will work. Regards.

Wow, thanks for all the comments.
Your crop idea is interesting Marc. Looks good, but I think if I were to crop, I'd just take some off the bottom, so you couldn't see any of her nose. I like the fact that her 'out of focus' ear is in the frame, so wouldn't want to loose that. Thanks for the idea though.

I like this a lot! I find myself looking directly into her eye and then wondering what she is thinking... I'm sure she is saying something like... "come on Mom, can you give me a break with the picture taking?" or "can you find another subject?" :) The contrast is nice on this and the composition lovely.
P.S. Thanks for commenting on my lighthouse shot. FYI it was not cropped to a panoramic. The Hasselblad XPAN is a true panoramic camera. It uses almost two full frames of normal 35mm film to make essentially a medium format pan image. You can learn more at www.xpan.com
