I'd just rework the reflection, probably size, and sharpness of them, because now they seem a bit 'placed'. In such an edit, I'd prefer the 'glasses included' version: it is true that for a moment, when first looking at it, I noticed her closed eyes. It didn't bother me, but since the theme of the picture is 'one boat beatifully driven by a team', it distracts a bit, since you individualise the crew.
