first time using portrait professional

[sean7488]

This is my first time using portrait professional and touching up a portrait. Do you think it's over processed, under processed? Opinions and suggestions are more than welcome. It's just a quick self portrait I did in my room so I didn't bother with the background, just working on touching up faces for portraits. Figured I'd practice on my own before I did other peoples' .

Looks pretty good for a first attempt, but the eyes are bothering me. I don't know why, but something just looks off.
Do you like the software? User friendly?

What would you fix to make the eyes less "bothersome" to you? I like the software, it's very user friendly and easy to process images.

The eye on the left seems a bit less "open" than the right. Haven't got a clue how to correct except for having the face turned slightly away from the "larger" eye.

The edited image looks ghostly, less warm.
