'Eye Pop' Practice on Outdoor Shot of Riley

I'm starting to really 'play' around with different photo editing techniques. Some are from books, others from Pioneer Woman, a great blog I love to read .
Here, I played around with skin softening, using hard light for more contrast, and I tried to make those chocolate eyes 'pop' a little more. This picture was also taken on a day that I was working on using a shallow depth of field to get that nice, blurry background. I was so happy to finally get what I wanted! (it was a little tough due to the lens I had on my camera). Let me know your thoughts. (FYI: I actually didn't edit this on my main photo editing computer, so colors may be off due to that...also, every monitor can make a picture look different, based on monitor settings, but let me know how it looks to you!)
