Used an LCD projector to project the eyes, stood in front of screen, snapped a few, picked the best (or least worse), cropped, adjusted curves and I think contrast.
Admittedly a rush job I don't expect to do too well, but I've skipped entries into a lot of challenges waiting for the "perfect picture".

I take it that that is a projected image or a billboard in the background. The light on the bridge of the nose forms a somewhat strong halo on the sides of the model. The expression on the model's face is perfect. The model is severely underlit in my opinion. One problem is that there is the reflection of a flash on the woman's iris which indicates similar lighting for the model. A 7.
you have captured a great sense of surrealism - interesting composition and juxtaposition of elements - one of my ribbon picks this challenge -- well done!
