Challenge: Reflections Without Mirrors II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: Bank of TN River
Date: Oct 13, 2005
Aperture: 7.1
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/320
Galleries: Landscape, Portraiture
Date Uploaded: Oct 13, 2005

 Took this with the camera set on timer in one hand, and I used my other hand to keep my eye covered until just before it took the photo. I did this to try to get my pupil as big as possible just before looking at the sun so hopefully it would give a larger reflection. Processing done in Photoshop CS using:
Levels
Curves
Selective Color
Unsharp Mask
NeatImage

Then I gave it a good brightness blast because images are always 10 times brighter on my computer than they end up being when someone else looks at them.

the reflection is hard to see beyond the sun and horizon line. to me, the eye remains the focus in this photo.

Nice, nothing we haven´t seen before but it looks good, great reflection considering you didn´t do any spot editing, I think this would look even cooler if you could have enhanced the reflection in the eye. 6 from me.

One of the top eye reflection shots. Love the detail in it.

For me the eye itself is more beautiful and prominant than the reflection.

The third "eye" I've rated in this challenge, and by far the best.
