Unique capture. Pretty good for a color blind guy. I especially like that the whites of the eye are black, gives it that gorish look I'm so fond of.

I really love this. I take lots of portraits, always trying to capture the eyes, and I like high contrast with lights and darks and shadows, so this is perfect to me! Well done!

though im not a huge fan of the darkness of the left of the eye, i really love the rest of the shot. the water adds so much interesting shapes and shadows, while the color in the eye is just so vibrant! good luck

Interesting shot. The use of the water makes it quite different to most 'eye detail' shots I've seen. I might have preferred if there was a bit more lighting around the eye to bring out some of the detail lost in that black spot. Still, it was well taken and has quite a distinctive look.

So moody, the dark shadows by the eye, the deep eye color, and the mysterious water drops combine to make a great image.

Cool. A bit more light on/in the eye, maybe, might make it outstanding. Mysterious, dramatic, though. Good stuff.
