I see a lot of eye shots but this one is beautiful, I like the way the forelock is hanging, adding to the composition and the focus is wonderful with it standing out so strongly from the out of focus background. Good luck 10

This would be more powerful if the eye was placed based on the rule of thirds. This quite centered and makes a fairly static image.

I like horse pictures, especially close-ups. One thing which is absolutely neccessary though is to manage the dof to make sure the main features are sharp. You have tried to put the viewers attention on the eye, but then left half the image on the right as a blank out of focus area. This part either needs cropping out or need to be pin sharp.

I would probably opt for cropping, moving the eye to the right 1/3 line and giving the viewer a little more space to the left of the hair.
