I wanted to thank everyone who commented, they were much appreciated, well most of them. I wanted to respond to one in particular though.
First off, considering this was an open date challenge and the photo I used was taken in 2007 and I see yours was taken in 2008... and this is the title I've used since it's been in my portfolio, again since 2007, I'm not exactly sure how I plagiarized you, especially since until you pointed out this link, I've never seen the photo in question.
But going even further, I wondered just how many other "Eye See You" titles are on the site, so I did a little search...
Here we have one from 2002 //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=8101
here's another from 2002 complete with the exclamation mark (like you used) //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=8101
Oh, what's this? Another from 2003, again complete with the exclamation mark //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=28672
In all, there were 70 results returned, many using the same name...
So, I guess that makes you a plagiarist, too, right?

| This looks like someone I know (though it's not). The blue of the eye is a bit artificial but it is striking and fits with the general heavily-processed look. More processing than I would use personally but it is well done. |

| I like the processing. I wish there wasn't this line in the background which cuts across his head |

| I often read "don't cut the head", it's surely a good advice for many photos but I like this one as it is, the result is powerful. |

| Not sure I'm a fan of the post on this, but it is a nice portrait with the color in the eye being very prominent. |

extreme post processing fulfilled its purpose but still its extreme and sometimes extreme is not the best solution ;)
of course it doesnt mean that it is not great

| Great impact on this - it plays very well with the face being dirty. Although I would clone out the darker spot on the nose to keep the attention drawn to the eye. |

| Interesting. The choice for post processing doesn't grab me, though that is a personal preference. The tricked out eye appears to be overdone, and the HDR look to the image doesn't seem to suit the subject. |
