Greetings from the Critique Club.

Composition: Nothing wrong with the composition here.

Technical: The commenters have hit the nail on the head. The lighting is a bit dark overall. It is hard to get closeups of eyes done well. From your notes I gather than you wanted this dark look. The trouble is that while it does accentuate the words in the eye, it also makes the details of the eyelash and the rest of the eye harder to see and thus it feels like there is a problem. The word "hate" is nicely lit for the most part but there is a hot spot on the "T" which also detracts from the overall feel. Is that a hot pixel at the top of the eye or some stray light. Hot pixels you can close out in basic rules but just make sure thats what it is :)

My Feelings: Good fit for the challenge but the lighting is what cost in the score department. One of the better "reflections in the eyes" ideas for challenges for a while.

PM me if you have any questions.

Although this is an interesting idea, the lighting isn't very good. I'm not a big fan.
