Very good. Good color here.

You'll note the focus is on the eyelashes, not the iris. So, the focal plane is a bit forward.

Also, you might try setting up a sheet with a small hole in it, through which you poke your lens, to get a shot without your reflection. The lens/hole should align with the pupil so you can remove any artifacts in post.

This is tricky stuff, but a very good first effort. Keep it up. Eyes are fun.

Also, i'll try your trick with the sheet, it's a good idea.
