I hesitate to make comments since I am obviously not an expert, but here goes: according to the title, the eye is the main subject, yet the nose is more in focus. And a very nice nose it is! :) But, it was confusing. I didn't rate it low, but didn't rate it as high as others.
The title implies that the eye is the focal point here. However, since the depth of focus is shallow, and only the nose is in focus, it really is the nose that draws the attention.
it's an interesting idea. Take a picture of an eye and focus on the nose.
At least you could adjust the title.
As much as it can make the picture beautifull, the shallow DOF can also spoil it easily and it's quite hard to master. Play with it some more (or give titles accordingly to what you got in focus)
Going by the title of the shot it would seem you are directing attention to the eye and yet it is the nose that is in focus. You've also lost details in the blown highlights.
