This is my own eye, which does happen to be blue, but not anywhere near THIS blue! :) I fiddled around with selective color, saturation and the contrast a lot to get it like this.

I just saw your comments on my pictures. Thank you very much! I had decided I would return the gesture, then I realized how modest you were being when I clicked on your profile. All of your pictures are just captivating and beautiful! I'm adding you as a favorite!
I love this picture, you've really got a good *eye* for composition from the photos in your profile. Keep up the good work! Working with eyes isn't easy to maintain highlights and such...really great picture.
Thank you femalevsnature! It was pretty simple for the most part. I made two layers - one in color and one in black and white, with the black and white layer on top. I put the brush on "clear" and erased away eye from the black and white layer to revealt he colored iris underneath. The rest was some adjustments with the selective colors (specifically the cyan, blue, and the neutral levels,) and some contrast adjustments. For some added glow, I set the dodge to highlights and touch-up just the bottom of the iris.
I must say you did a very good job! Now I wish I wouldn't have been so busy and could have voted in this challenge. I know this one would have struck a chord with me. :-)
Stunning!
I have opened this image on a number of occasions to comment, but i really am not worthy.
the depth of the eye is just out of this world.
I love it!
Got to be top 3 at least.
