All stock other than the base are mine. Enjoy. 
Since you put "Advanced Critique" I'll just point out a few things:
* The water droplets look as if they're going into her skin, rather than sitting atop them. (Only a couple are doing this, the larger ones). I would suggest reversing the bevel, if that's how you accomplished the effect, or checking out some of the great water drop brushes DA offers.
* It would make her eyes stand out more if you used the burn tool on her eyelashes to darken them. They are SO pretty.
That's pretty much it! I love her eyes.
One thing that helps me find errors: when you're done, flatten the piece and then reverse the view (like mirror-image). Often, when you've been staring at it for so long, it makes it hard to see errors and flaws. When you mirror-image it, a lot of those lighting things and other small flaws stand out much more. Also I cannot stress the importance of taking breaks if your work takes a long time. You've gotta give your eyes time to relax in order to find those quirky little mess-ups.
