Great framing of those penetrating eyes. Nice concept for this challenge and has high viewer interest.

There are some technical issues that will affect the final score.

The eyes are not level. That acts as a distraction to the typical viewer. They should be rotated counterclock a degree or so.

The lighting is unbalanced. Either you want to darken the image so the the eye on the left is in darker shadow to enhance that effect ot add lighting so that both eyes have similar lighting. In this version the right side of the nose is a little overexposed. This image appears to be in that grey area where the photographer could not decide which way they really wanted to go.

The red dot has some tiny white specks that are distracting to the viewer that should be removed.

The image focus is soft. From this distance it would seem that you either want to have it in razor sharp focus to see all the tiny fine detail clearly or you would want to do something to make the soft focus seem more mysterious or foreboding.

Very nice, especially on her left eye. I can't help but wish the lighting was the same for the whole photo, though. She has beautiful eyes.

I don't know whether your model always wears that dot, but at least in this photograph it looks fake. I think it distracts too much from her eyes, which suggest darkness pretty well. 7.
