Just a close up of my eye. The weird crop is to eleminate the huge catch light from the flash. If this was a members challenge I would have just taken it out but, no go in open challenge.
I used the Sigma 105 macro with three extension tubes on the end of it. The lighting was my 550ex on a flash cord. The flash was set to full power on the manual setting. Oh and if anyone suggests it, there was no color changingin ps of anything else. These are the colors.

Wow! Nick, I have been browsing through the images this morning and saw yours. Thats a lot of detail. Great work! did you say you used a flash (not a good idea for your eyesight!) but a very good image Nice work
i disagree with those that say your eye looks unattractive or unappealing so close up. the color, texture and composition are all beautiful. i love it. great job.
Yo funny Mag! I would just like to thank everyone for all of the comments on this image. For there being so many other sumbissions i am surprised at the number of comments I received. Thank you all very much.
Holy geez.... Did you take that through a microscope?! Great details... oh man, I've never seen an iris that close up. Talk about macro photography. Great closeup.
Now that is a closeup of an eye! Very nice.... and strange. Makes me want to go get a lens that can do the same thing to see what mine looks like. I looks like space nebula. Eerie.
Excellent detail and clarity. It really makes you look at the complexity of the eye, unlike many of the other eye macros. The colour is also very appealing.
It will be interesting to see how long this exposure took. I think this is the best eye shot, at least so far (I think I'm at about 157/538). Good luck
Holey friggin cow.. ok now i'm impressed. do you use a microscope or somthing. This shot realy makes me want to get a better set of lenses. Great shrpness and color. Extremely close with a huge amount of detail. great shot
Now THAT'S an eye macro! :-) I do think this shot would look better without the white in the bottom right corner, but that's a relatively minor point. This is a really outstanding photo with excellent detail.
Lots of people did eyes, but I think yours is the closest! Nice details, but (and I know this is something you can't hardly help) I don't like the pink veins at top and bottom. :)
There has been a lot of "Eye-shots" so far in this contest, all getting bigger and and worst. I started thinking "Big is bad..." But yours convinced me that big is cool, when it's done right. Very well done, my favorite in this challenge so far (a 10). Next time a girl asks me if I think her eyes are beautiful, I hope I won't be thinking of all those little "wishbone" veins or whatever they are!
This is disturbing. I'm going to have nightmares. WOW. Very nice. Not really sure what else to say. I like that you placed the pupil to the upper left. Lighting seems great, and focus and clarity are definatley great. Supurb shot. My first 10 thus far. Good luck in the challenge. And wow again. ~Heather~
