What AF settings are you using?
It might just be me, but I'm pretty sure that last closeup her eyes still arent focused properly!

i was shooting on f2.8
and as i said the lens was "twitching" with the focusing right before i take the pic... probably that's it. i'll try and be more careful next time with that

Check what AF mode you're on. AI Servo would do that "twitching" behaviour, while AI Focus or One Shot would not (assuming you're using Canon)

how tight is your space. using a wide angle like that will cause distortion and make her head look more bulbouse. Try shooting 85mm or above. Just a tip though

I'm the exact opposite, I love the first shot, and could see it being used in some sort of music ad, whereas the second really does nothing for me...
hmm... to each their own

Photoshop > File > Save As
Screenshot of Photoshop

(excuse the line on the bottom, i'm lazy)
Critique and advice as to why Save As in Photoshop seemed to have upped the saturation a lot?
I do have everything on sRGB color profile (monitor, photoshop, camera) ..so I'm confused.
