Challenge:Textures II (Basic Editing I) Camera:Kodak LS443 Location: My house, Los Angeles, CA Date: Feb 17, 2004 Aperture: 4.5 Shutter: 1/30 Galleries:Macro Date Uploaded: Feb 17, 2004
I was trying to recreate a shot I once did. You could almost feel the eye in the shot, and I waited until about two hours before the challenge was to end to do it. So not having any time, I didn't get the shot I wanted.
The texture I was going for isn't as prevalent as I wanted either. So hopefully I don't get too many "doesn't fit the challenge" remarks. Here's to hoping anyway.
In PS: resized, cropped, sharpened, and added a border.

This seems a bit too harsh on the lighting so the skin around the eye has lost some detail, most especially on the extreme left side. Skin is an excellent subject for texture though :-)
Great macro...love the colors of the eye, sharp focus, and interesting angle. Left side little too bright/washed out and reflected light in eye distracts a little. .
Great interpretatin of the "eyeball" good texture of skin and the iris is interesting The washed out lower left could be removed and nothing would be missing in your composition (I like the tilted angle)
I'm slightly disturbed that you're encouraging people to touch the eye-ball - yuck! Focus and clarity of the image is really good though! Not entirely sure about the bizarre angle; I think it might have worked better if it were a bit more traditional. 7.
Very sharp and clear details, good texture. I would have liked it more croped a little to the left. The skin on left distracts my eyes. The reflection on the iris also distracts
Nice closeup. Liked your choice of cropping/composition. Would have liked to see a bit more directional lighting for additional contrast and shading. Cool.
Peculiar composition, this. Not sure what you were trying to communicate, but that expanse of slightly over-exposed skin left of frame is quite a distraction.
