I like the 2nd one. It has a good center for the focus and the wide dilation of the eye is cool. Although, the blur in the lower left corner of the eye is a little much, making it distracting. Other then that I think it's a good photo.

The first one is a bit typical. Also the blood vessels are very prominent; making them distracting. Something reflected in the eye that'd be cool. I can see a storm; I have no idea what that would take but it'd be cool.

I love the B&W and I think you have a good subject matter. It just needs a little more work.

As eye shots go, they're kinda ... not pleasing to look at.

Often eye shots focus on the colors and the fascinating details. The focus isn't great on these, you've gone black and white, and it almost looks like you may have been physically too close to the subject for the lens you were using. They're also mildly gross IMO... the blood-shot eye and such... might be an actually cool effect if it weren't for the other elements.

Sorry. This is likely why you didn't get any responses, though... because in this case the "truth" isn't exactly pleasant to give or hear.

Keep trying though... work on the focus, consider what happens when you opt for B&W vs. color... what will they focus on? what will they miss? Is that ok? etc.
