This looks either overexposed or overprocessed. As such, you've lost a great deal of texture in the skin around the eye. I think your topic/focus of texture is supposed to be the color part of the eye itself, but it doesn't work too well for me.
A good example of using PS to enchance an image. It's not subtle but the effect is pretty neat. Perhaps not for DPC but for design work etc it woudl be great. 8
Certainly gets your attention. Nice sharp focus. Really like how the eyelid is raised to an unnatural extent. Curious how it would have looked in B&W also. Cool
I think this is fantastic. The detail you got in the eye is very interesting, but I'm not sure how that will do for texture. I was trying to get some shots of my pupil dilating the other day and found that it was pretty much impossible with the techniques I was trying. Have you tried that in your eye experiments?
This is an artistic shot that could be enhanced to bring out even more texture (the iris is excellent) I'd like to see more of the red lines in the eye (they're washed out above the iris so there isn't much to frame your eyeball along the top edge leaving my eye stuck at the top
very good shot. Although it seems as if the main point of this picture is the iris. Technically, its not a texture, you cant really feel it, although it is a good shot, which over comes the texture issue.
Eyeball! Feel like I should be ready to catch it, so I guess the texture must be evident. A bit bright for my tastes. Not crazy about the crop on this. I would have tried to get a shot with the iris more centered and captured less surrounding skin, and maybe mroe lashes. My two cents worth.
Don't see texture here - no sensation of feel, of a tactile surface, of graduation of smoothness and roughness. Intriguing subject that this is - and fine illustration of an iris (and the extreme colouring is very interesting) - I think it out of place in a challenge of this title.
wow. i like the contrast and saturation.. excellent photo.. i don't know about how well it fits the 'texture' challange.. i mean.. it has texture.. but you're digging deep in that sense. .. i have never seen lines so defined in a person's iris.. but lines aren't texture. an eye is smooth.... this photo doesn't really make me think of the texture "smooth" so i don't think i can give it a 10. I would if I could.
