Converted to sepia using channel mixer and color balance. Sadly, it was a basic challenge so I couldn't PS out the reflection from the flash in the pupil. Taken with Sigma 105mm Macro

Great job meeting the challenge 7 on that.. A little too close for my own personal liking.

Great shot but, IMO I think the pupil could be improved with the focus and highlight. Good luck

Good job capturing the details of the iris and eyelashes in this shot. Good placement of the pupil off-center. Skillful depth of field too.

Shoulda named this one "Gigantic Pupil". I like the shot.

Even though there are several eyeball shots, this one has an interesting take on it, an dlooks interesting. Those eyelashes REALLY jump out at you. Good job!

Thats a wide pupil... must have been quite a long exposure to let enough light in? A good shot but could do with a bit more contrast, and a different colour other than "pukey green" would be much nicer too.

I think you cropped away too much of the picture on the right and at the bottom. I understand that you could not any more off the top or left, but now the upper left corner feels empty.

Nice detail, and good use of duotone. makes me wonder how it would look in full color.. 7

This is one of the better eye shots. I love the colour and tones. The eyelashes look so clear and well defined.

Nice detail.

Nice definition in the lashes. I wonder if you would have been more pleased with the outcome if the pupil had been looking directly at the lens.

My favourite of the eye based images for this challenge. One thing that really struck me with this image is the colour and tone of it. It makes the image far more interesting to look at rather than skin toned ones. Did you use a duotone? Focusing is nice and sharp, eyeball isn't bang in the centre of the image so makes composition really pleasing. I hope this image does well in the challenge. Good Luck!

DOF too shallow. Would like to see the pupil in focus as well
