I shot this using my bucket light with a posterboard cutout of the 007 logo. Hope it does well.

Yeah, the tone's too red, and yeah, the eye's not sharp. But my focus went right to the 007 logo, and I barely noticed the rest of it. :)

I wasn't crazy about this one. Using a logo to represent something is too obvious, and the eye reflection isn't original. I know that people use DPC to learn by trying other people's ideas, and that's great, but it's not going to get the big score from me. It's also not an appealing close-up. The color's a little funky and the eyeball has strange highlights in it.

very good...just think the colour cast on the skin is not that flattering...

with some post processing this would be really cool

it's very red, would like to see more realistic skin tones
seems a little dark
whiten the eye whites more

Nice creative on the reflection though

Some potential here with the idea. The pupil and iris are clear, but the remainder of the photo is a bit noisy/grainy. Just not "clean" enough for the "wow" factor IMO. The lines above and below the pupil are somewhat distracting as well. All JMO of course. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Cool shot. Very creative and great execution of the reflection. It is a little grainy and noisy though, which is a tiny bit distracting.

Well done. I really like that effect.

Allthough the idea is nice, it doesn't seem to be in focus.

how about putting in something else other than 007. I would say it a "view of bond" of "looking at the spy" or "spy in the eye" :) good creation

Wow, NICE :) I've really got to try one of these myself some day. Just needs a bit of the red skin tone turned down and a touch of noise removal (I think it kinda looks out of focus because of this). Awesome work, congrats for a successful attempt at this technique!

Advanced editing - soften the eye veins. 5

The reflection in the eye is cool. The colors are a bit red - makes the eye look a little bloodshot.
