I decided to try something with eyes, which I am sure will be seen a million times, but hopefully not like this. a simple straight forward shot. Yes, a cheeky remake of my profile photo. That's all I had time to do, cause of working all the time.

Meeting the Challenge: Very well done. It might well have been named eyes of rage, and seemed to be taken that way by some of the commenters.
Composition: I like the way you cropped this photo in a non-traditional format which intensified your subject. The drawing on the left eye (as I view it) also helps keep it from being boring by being too symmetrical. B/W makes the image even more dramatic. I liked the veins in the eyes showing to add to the intensity of the feeling.
Technical Quality: Good, although I would have liked to have seen more dof, as the focus is pretty intense on the nose bridge and softens up a lot at the eyes. The white specks are a little distracting in the forehead to me and the dark specks below the eyes, also.
Creativity: Excellent on this respect, very original idea, really liked it.
Overall, I think this photo was a little under-scored in the challenge, but it seems a lot of really nice photos end up below 5.5 lately. I would have at least given it a six, and without the specks and a little more focus likely at least an 8.
Hope this was helpful, let me know if you have any questions. Kandice
