Another shot in my "dumb crap I finally shot at 11:00 p.m. on Sunday" series. This is one that was inspired by one of my favorite Far Side cartoons. Earlier in the week I had planned on replicating that cartoon more to its true form, which included a side mirror on a car. Time didn't permit, and the more I thought about it, the more I liked the title with a giant eyeball anyhow... :)

IMHO this lacks originality, since we've seen more than our share of eye macros in DPC. I wonder why you chose B&W, loosing the color of the iris. There seems to be a contact lens in place, ¿why keep it?
Very well taken macro, great details! (looks like contacts and a little irritation!) (also sort of a joke - where's the printed message at the bottom of the frame?)
Good job! 8 Swash
It's a pretty nice shot, but alone, it's not really funny. With the title is is kind of funny. I'm being pretty laid back with that, so not a huge deal. The focus and clarity are good. I think that the crop is too tight on the right. I'd personally like to see those last few lashes. Those are usually the most impressive, and longest, and I think that it would enhance the good focus to see those crisp lashes. Lighting looks good for the shot. i like the catch lights. Nice detail. Good luck in the challenge.
