Wow, love the color scheme and the vivid blue eye. I like your choice to leave the eye the primary focus of your photo while blurring the contact lens.
'If in doubt, get the eyes sharp'. You did that exceptionally here. The muted colours are great and the detail is superb. I bet that this was difficult to capture with such shallow DOF.
Nice, original idea. My hand never seems that steady when I'm putting my lenses in. Even though I've worn them for years, I still don't like the idea of sticking my finger in my eye. :-) 7
great eye shot! nice and clear, love the color treatment. flawless composition. the eye demands so much of my attention in this picture, that i question its submission for this particular challenge (because i'm interpreting your transparant focus as the contact lens, which really just disappears against the amazing image of that eye.). absolutely gorgeous photo.
