What a depressing title! It really changes the viewing experience. Perfect focus on the eye. I wish the DOF was just a bit broader so that more of his fur was in focus.

Some cropping at bottom and closer on the face would have made this such a powerfull shot for me. Still a nice image and this is well captured

Wow. Great detail in the eye and forehead. I can understand wanting to isolate the eye(s), but I think you went too far in obliterating everything else in post. JMO of course. Good luck.
