Hey Tim, glad you're back. Actually it looks like your wife. You can always shot neighbors, friends and kid's friends, too, "Too". Well done. I always like a partial 2nd eye so it doesn't lool like a Cyclops. Unless the whole head is seen and only hair is covering the one eye.
I'm fairly certain you won a challenge about a year ago with a very similar shot, yes? Anyway, I hope this does well for you, too. Your catch of her iris pattern is beautiful. I'm more and more suspect of "letterbox" frames as I think they lend something to the photos that aren't inherent in the photo itself -- leaves me always trying to imagine the photo without the frame!
Awesome photo. Maybe bring the thickness of the borders down just a bit... Also, have you tried doing a selective de-sat to leave the color of the eyes? Just a thought...
Nice eyes, but for me I find the crop on the right a bit distracting and would have preferred you to have croped the righthand eye out completely and given me some more of the black space on the left to set it off and make me think, but I'm no artist lol
Great shot and a very nice composition. They eyes show evidence of an umbrella but give them an interesting sparkle. Smart choice of b/w. I marked this as a 6 in my initial pass but changing it to a 7 now after spending more time viewing it.
