I like your idea for the challenge. The pose portrays a lot of feeling. I like the lighting on his face, but fear hers is a little blown-out. That may have been your intent. I don't mind that on high contrast photos, but I think it's the inconsistency between his skin and hers that is distracting to me. The only other suggestion I offer is to sharpen it a little. Best of luck! :)

I like your idea for the challenge and the textures. I believe cropping more off the top would make for a stronger composition. And the flower definitely should have been sharper. If at all possible try to reshoot this. I think you've got a potentially great image here.

I love the lighting and the crop. For the main subject to be the eye (per your title), I'd like to see it a tad sharper -- the eye, I mean. :) 7

What a beautiful, creative image!!! My only suggestion for improvement -- and, hey, what do I know? -- would be to crop it closer at the top and bottom so you just had the window fill the frame. Excellent image!!
