Ah, my first DA critique!
I can say nothing bad about your proportions or overall composition!
You've pushed your dark darks and you've got light lights. There's an admirable range of value here that gives this piece its POP.
Awesome AWESOME texture! You've nailed the feel of the mascara on the eyelashes, the skin of the eye lid, and the shininess of the eyeball and surrounding tissue!
The detail and attention you gave to each individual eyelash, the reflection on the eye itself, and the tiny imperfections of the iris are OUTSTANDING. I have a feeling that the photo of your drawing doesn't do it justice. Are those tiny veins near the inner corner!? Sheesh!

Personally I would prefer to see the value continue beyond the eye and off the edges of the paper. This is a personal preference though. With so much time already in, I can see why you would want to stop there. As opposed to taking the risk of adding something that would take away from, or eclipse, the work that you have put into it.
