    This is ironic because I was contemplating this idea as well. You're lucky to have gotten it done first! :) Haha, I believe I just lost at this challenge.

    I'm not surprised by that at all, it seems we have some similar tastes! on that note, you have great taste! :lol4

    thanks for the comment. I wouldn't be so sure about being a winner, though. just like last time, I'll be floor if I make it to top 10. nice job on 2nd by the way with ch. 33!! clap.gif

    Really nice! Just curious if the sharp inner circle is how it is in real life or is that PS? Never zoomed in on an eyeball before so I don't know. :D

    actually, much to my surprise, my boyfriend's pupil is not symmetrical and it kept throwing the whole image off (for this challenge) so I PS'd it in and put an inner shadow on it go give the bordering iris some depth and sort of emphasize the actual curvature.

    on macro setting with a mini mag light so the "hot spot" was in the pupil making it easier to get rid of *wink wink*

    thanks Angelo!

    WOW WOW. Now that is moving. That is so beautiful. You have done it. taken something so complex and stripped away everything except what you want us to see.

    cool shot. there was a whole thread of eyeballs on FM a couple weeks ago. One did a very similar shot to yours, and to make it cooler, he bounced the light of a CD first. Cooool effect... you should try it.

    Now if only I had a macro lens... :cry

    lots of manipulation with the magic wand tool....so adding to the selection and subtracting to the selection while upping and downing the tolerance. :D

    How COOOL or nuthin'! That is such a neat idea. My hubby would never be patient enough to pose for that. I can hardly get him to just sit for me while I play with lighting/camera settings!


    Well done!bowdown.gif
