Great image Glad... I was not looking forward to "eye" pictures in this challenge, but you did this on very well... Congrats... a 5.9 with how people were voting is a great score.

I was all set to dislike any "creepy baby eye photos" as someone else described them, but this surprises me because of the excellence of the PP and the originality of the composition. Would this qualify as "high key?"

Very appealing with impact. Good lighting a lovely shot - that eye - is it really that vivid? Good luck

Very nice! Title, composition, I love the high-key feel of this and the ever-so-sharp crisp blue eye! Very nice indeed... reeks of Doc Sneezy's work! ;-)

Perhaps a cliche subject for the challenge, but very well done. The desat is perhaps a bit imperfect in the eye, but the high key treatment works well.
