Might have been more efective withouth the over saturated orange color.

Okay, this is nice but it could be improved to be more competitative. Consider, the eye has liquid colors and it has more white. The skin is like a 5th zone. The white is about 8-9 zone. We then give the 5th zone top billing. That is allow 2/3 of the exposure on the closed eye lids and the lesser fraction to the open eye. Depending on light even lesser time may be required for the open eye. Outside of this, you have the technique. Just think that 8 to 10 zones instantly record and can erase any lower zone values. But hey, regardless of my advise, you did a very nice job. Bumping up from 5 to 6.

should have adjusted the colours, the red isnt very appealing

must say this pic does not appeal to me, scary stuff. but it is such a great ground breaker in MHO that I must bump you up to 8 on the merit of the pic.

Open, shut, or bright orange? Interesting idea, could probably be made seriously kreepy with less even lighting and better color balance (or B&W)

not really clear enough (transition), and WB is a little off.

I suppose that the model moved a little bit when you took this photography with long exposure ... anyway ... interesting idea

It looks like a transparent eyelid. It would be hard to sleep like that.

Eye like the idea! See what I've done there? Sometimes my capacity for comedy surprises even me...

Back to the photo: I'd like to see it with a little more exposure time of the eye open bit, and possibly with the eye open even more - if that's possible.

nice idea the highlights are distracting though. I'm not sure of the color cast chosen.
