Very good .. now, a question .. with that kind of professional lighting, are you still going in with Photoshop and punching up the iris color? It looks like you are, since that kind of 1/4 iris color punch is classic for studio photography trickery.

Yep, the eyes have a separate action I use after I extract them to their own layer (eyes) - duplicated, sharpened set to 60% opacity (eyes1), duplicated +3 lightness and +20 saturation set to 60% opacity (eyes2), eyes1 and eyes2 merged changed to soft light 45% opacity, merged with eyes layer at 45% opacity. I then play with the opacity slightly before merging back to the original image.
