Good job, Michael.

I got pretty much the same result in Lightroom 5.

I reduced saturation to 0 and increased highlights +70 with the adjustment brush on the "scleras" (had to look it up, lol).

I assume you were in photoshop.

I tried to get the eyes whiter as requested... here is what I came up with using a hue/saturation layer...

OMG! Sara is so big now and she is so beautiful and happy! You must be a proud father. I love her pose and expression. I am not a huge fan of HDR in general, but I guess it make colors pop here. The thing which kind of bothers me here is blue/green color in her eye where it suppose to be white). Try to remove that and see what happens.

I am assuming that the first is the "Normal" and the second is the "Hdr".

You've done an unusually good job of controlling the HDR effect in a portrait.
Most that I've seen are overdone and look unnatural.

Although I don't know that HDR would really be necessary, considering other post options,
your result is excellent.

Mandrake.
