it's a moving photo, it's beyond what i expect from a camera to do, great job.
a really lucky man who have a GF with beautiful eyes like that,
and a talented man who can take a photo like that to an eye like this.
A-maaaazing. The photo is remarkable - and then to have it be the Nikon D70 - the camera I am dreaming of and drooling over - pretty much seals the deal for me. I want to have the opportunity to attempt something this cool. Great job - congrats!
Great shot and congrats on your win. I didn't even come close. I really like this image though. And I'm actually not even seeing it until now. Would have gave it a ten though. Also, selected it as one of my favorites. Again, good job...
Nice photo...the best part is seeing how much you love this photo in the comment above. It's great when a photo is special to the photographer and is also well received by his/her peers. The best of both worlds!
I find it hard to believe that ANYONE could give this a low mark. I wonder at times what they think they are proving. This is superb and a well deserved winner. Congrats and thanks for the details !
This is an awesome image, and a great idea! This is true inspiration to those of us (that means me) who find it hard to think of macro subjects other than bugs or flowers! Great work and congrats on the very well deserved blue! :-)
This is prolly the best ribbon that I've won sicne I've been here!! Out of 529!!! I'm just stoked right now!!!!
And by the way, that crisp area on the skin the very shallow DOF (f 2.8)I had to work with. I would hold my breath for every shot... and even then the drop isn't crystal clear.
Thanks to all!!! WOOHOOOO!!!!! Party party party!!! :-P
PS: could an admin or a SC put a space somewhere in Sparky's post?? It's making everything all lopsided! Thanks! :-)
Well, so now we know what the Blue Ribbon picture is. UNBELIEVABLE! There are way too many shots of eye balls in this challenge, and that was to be expected, but this blows me away.
What can I say. If I was still judging for publications this would certainly go "next round".
A shame about the dark area "top right" fantastic DOF and stunning catchlight. I am ignoring the crazing top centre dribbling down which I suspect looks softer in the original and put down to compression.
Love it
I absolutely love this shot. I wonder if you'll get docked points because of the extremely shallow depth of field, but I think that is what makes this shot awesome. Great placement of the drop out of the center. I love the soft blues and black, and the blurred lashes in the back of the depth of field.
this is my best bet to win the 1st place in this challenge, very neat, the concept is great!!!!! perfect compositon....congrats in advance.... my rating...10!!!!
An ecellent concept this. The exposure and/or harshness of light seems just a little too high for a 9 to me. You have a great imagination. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Great shot. if it wasnt for a grainy streak going down from the eye, and on the eye lid, This would have definately got a 9 or better. But hey it still one of my top picks.
This is sure to win. If not, you got robbed. Perfect photo in every way. The WOW impact is overwhelming. Wonderful ! I can't wait to read details on how this was done. 10
