Thanks for the comment. There isn't too much to share. I shot this outdoors in natural light - RAW, with an ISO of 100. I focused on her eye, which is "Portrait Photography 101". The first thing I do with any image is run Noise Ninja over it. Even with ISO 100 there is a detectable level of noise that is smoothed out. After any PS work I do on an image, the last thing I do is sharpen it via the following process: In PS, ake a duplicate layer of of the photo. Go to Filter > Other > High Pass. Set the radius to anything you want. i use 5.5. After that, in the Layers Tab Pull-Down Menu set it to Hard Light. After that you can adjust the opacity of the layer to where you like it. If you want, you can erase out parts of the image you don't want sharpened. Then flatten it. That's it. I hope that helps.
All the best,
Endre
