you have such a terrific way of bringing the viewer into the image, into your emotions - i feel as though i shouldn't look away, for fear i might miss seeing you blink!
the red seems to pull me slowly from your eye, toward the raw color (that hint of passion!), only to be snapped back to seeing your eye again, always watching me...
I love the composition of this. The offset nature really adds a great deal of tension. And as usual, you have shown off some amazing eyes. I just would have liked your shoulder to be a little less blown out. Great job. 8
