Nice photo, but I don’t understand why her eyes are bright blue in post #8 and quite brown or perhaps olive in yours. Did she wear colored contacts? Did they even have such things at the age your photo was taken?

Photo re-touching. Way before photoshop.

Contact lenses have been around for a LONG time, dating back to the late 1800’s.

Blue eyes are odd that way -- it is totally dependent on the lighting. On an overcast day, my eyes are greyish blue. On a sunny day, they are much more blue, almost a cold sky blue. My dad's eyes are literally the color of a robin's egg, and only rarely do they take on a gray cast. Three of my four blue-eyed brothers have much darker blue eyes that (depending on the lighting and weather) can range from nearly navy (which looks close to brown in a photo) to a medium-dark blue; the other brother has blue eys that are closer to aqua in color and never look grey, even in overcast weather. I have a sister in law whose eyes are practically turquoise, and no matter the weather or what color she is wearing, they ALWAYS look turquoise.

It's just the nature of blue eyes.
