the idea is there, but I think it could have been done better, and I truly dislike the background. Good idea though.

I don't know if the background works here and I think you could have gotten something more resembling blood. Sharp focus

Great framing of those penetrating eyes. Nice concept for this challenge and has high viewer interest.

There are some technical issues that will affect the final score.

The eyes are not level. That acts as a distraction to the typical viewer. They should be rotated counterclock a degree or so.

The lighting is unbalanced. Either you want to darken the image so the the eye on the left is in darker shadow to enhance that effect ot add lighting so that both eyes have similar lighting. In this version the right side of the nose is a little overexposed. This image appears to be in that grey area where the photographer could not decide which way they really wanted to go.

The red dot has some tiny white specks that are distracting to the viewer that should be removed.

The image focus is soft. From this distance it would seem that you either want to have it in razor sharp focus to see all the tiny fine detail clearly or you would want to do something to make the soft focus seem more mysterious or foreboding.
