This is a cool effect, however, being that it is the eyes, I would have prefered a sharp focus. This is just a preference, your image has a nice feel as is.
Composition is good with the angle of her head and the way the hair sweeps but the color looks off and image is a bit on the soft side. Catchlights are too conspicuous, imo and attract a lot of attention.
I really like this idea... I just would expect that the shot, being so close, would be sharper... the eyes, the eye lashes, the eyebrows. With sharper features I would have voted it much higher.
The eyes need to be in tack-sharp focus for this to work - they are not. Another suggestion would be that since this is advanced editing, you remove the blemish from the right eyelid
Interesting, but out of focus. That little red dot over her right eye is also quite distracting. This could have been a powerful shot if it was sharper and cleaner.
Oh, I thought I'd share what I found out about 'Je ne sais quoi' in case anyone else out there doesn't speak French:
je ne sais quoi
/zhuh nuh say KWAH/ That little something; a quality that eludes description: “The Mona Lisa’s smile has a certain je ne sais quoi.” From French, meaning “I don’t know what.”

Gorgeous green eyes! However, I did find the circles of white light on each eye, distracting. Focus a little soft also. Great composition. Fits the challenge.
