Not a portrait, per se, but I had to enter SOMETHING!
I predict a 4.5 score since it's out of focus.

I gave this a 6 - really like the extreme close up and the great focus on the eye. And I like how the green in the background matches! You did a terrific job cloning out the eye boogie - I wish I could do that for my cat routinely, in 3D. There is no end to his goop.

I really like this shot - I find the juxtaposition of the green eye and swath of green in the background interesting. I do think it would have scored better if the whole background more or less matched the eye. Harley is adorable. I love kitties!

This is a very interesting shot and I really like it. The only thing I don't like is the background.

Nice touch with the green in the background to pick up the green in the eyes.

Pretty green eyes but lighting could be better

6 - Beautiful colored eyes. I know this is 640, but like to have seen it 'bigger', somehow. Like the matching green in the composition but wonder if it dominates a little too much. A little sharper (maybe not so close/reduce blur/who knows) and attention paid to the reflection in the eye, make this better in my opinion. Like the potential. Like the thin slits too.

I think the light is too harsh and this does not have the feel of a portrait. The bit of green in the background is distracting.

wish I could see more of your cat's head ...

This is a little too close up for my taste... and the lighting seems harsh on the back side
