Fascinating IC,
DOF isn't quite perfect but it's bloody good. The comp and crop are great, lovely curves and ratios. Your selection, or whatever process you used to isolate the colour area from the rest, needed tweaking so that ALL the skin is mono, that would increase the drama of the eye even more. Ideally you'd like all of the iris in light, showing colour. More dramatic contrast/intensity on the mono are might also increase the drama more. A worthwhile experiment, definitely worth developing further, could be a total cracker of an image.
