Nice detail, but you'll probably get voted down for being over-exposed. That's a shame...the washed-outedness is cool.

Focus should be on the eye not the brow. A bit heavy on the brightness

Focus is off, and the hair and shodows on the right hand side detract, in my opinion. Lighting is really harsh, but it kind of works for this shot. A tighter crop on the eye and eyebrow would have done wonders.

I think you did use Flash when you took this pic... Try to do the same without that..

The high key effect works well, but its the eyebrow which is in clear crisp focus, and the actual eye is blurry. A wider DoF would have helped.

I have a few comments.
1. I really didn't feel the light in the eye, I personally would have cloned it out and gave a lower score because of less personal appeal.
2. I am a big fan of PS but think this goes a bit overboard, at least for my tastes. The reason for this is you still see the correct color of skin within the eye brows and around the eyes.
3. I do like the cropping because it's not just an eye, this gives you something to imagine with. It gives you some structure.

I gave a 5 based on composition and meeting the challenge.

The eye is an interesting subject for photography as it does strange things with light. You have captured a beautiful brown image here. I wish it were not as central on the picture as this gives a rather static feeling to the shot.

The expression in the eye is good. I wonder if you would have been more pleased if you had focused on the lens/pupil area rather than the brow/lid. Overall, the shot is overexposed. Perhaps you did this on purpose for detail, but it might have been more powerful if you had gotten a bit closer.

Like the detail of brow and eye against the over exposed face effect. I might have cropped out the right side to focus just on the eye and brow. Nice shot...

Eyebrow seems more in-focus than the eye.

Focus is on the eyebrow and eye lashes instead of the eye. Seems to me the eye should be the subject.
