Janet, I know what it is, and it is very subtle! Look at the inner corners of the actual open parts of the eyes. See the little crease that comes down from them toward the nose? They are not lined up exactly in your portrait, though they are in real life. It's very picky, but it will make a difference in how the viewer "reads" the eyes. The "line" or crease of the eye on our left should come down a mite, while the crease on the (our) right is okay, but the bottom lid of the eye right under the tear duct should be slightly higher.
