I really don't get how this didn't do better. I can only guess that people were tired of seeing eyes and didn't even notice the added dimension of the reflection or the title. Better luck next time.

Well done!
The eye's reflection is "all the money"

this is the first eye-shot i've seen so far that i can actually look at. thanks for an image that doesn't make me go "eewwww". i think this would be stronger if the eyebrow was cropped out.

Definately the best of the eye shots....I like the blue tint to the B&W - kinda dream-ish, ya know? Of course you know...you took the shot. Good luck. 8.

A little too dark at first glance. I love the reflections on the eye.

Oooohh. I like this shot a lot. Great vision of the sky in the eye. I think you could have cropped the left 1/5th of the shot and still had a captivating image. 8.

The eye reflections I've tried to make haven't come out any where near as clear. Good job. The blue coloring works well.

Very nice work. I like the image of the sky in her eyes. It brakes up the image and says something about what this person is thinking. Cool

I was unsure on the blue toning at first but it's really growing on me. The contrast is really good. Maybe a bit dark for some but I like it a lot.

I like that you can see the sky in the eye. Would it have been possible to showcase the sky by cropping in on the iris and showing a little less skin and eyebrow?
