A lot of people shot eyes. I think that yours being black and white helps it stand out a bit + you didn't try and smooth out the skin. So I will give you props for that.
Nice image - Nice and sharp but there are some slightly more creative versions of this in the challenge - The black bars above and below are very distracting and unbalance the picture.
