I really was impressed by this 'eye' shot. One of my few 10s. I've seen so many, but this is really well done and with some creativity also. I can only think that people may not have liked the sharp edges of the window reflection, it almost looks fake.
Great job despite the dim voters! :)
Holy god... that's incredible... The reflection si so clear and the color is perfect... Focus can't be better... Nice work... My first 10 ever.... ( i love eyes pictures )
There have been a lot of eye closeups on this site, but this one has the clearest image I've seen reflected in the eye. Your decision to desat the rest of the image really draws attention to the reflection as well. Very nicely done.
9 - Great shot. Interested to see how that 'window' got there. Great blend of the black/white and blue. Detail on part of the iris and the lashes is very good. The 'mirroring' of the lashes good too. Very good.
Very pretty eye color, but the top portion of the iris is in shadow. I don't really care for the reflection. It doesn't look natural for some reason. The edges are too defined.
