This is truly scary, but the skill level required to make eyes look like artificial ones should be admired, even if it wasn't deliberate.

I don't find it scary. I think the processed images look like a child's doll. The sort where the eyes are unnaturally bright.

They are some of the most horrendous retouching jobs I've ever seen - they've made the kids look like cartoon characters! Revolting stuff.

HDR for portraits!
Just because you CAN do that doesn't mean you SHOULD.
