 THANK YOU!

This is quite amazing! Thank you for the votes and comments. Thank you! Thank you!

This was a fun week and the update button got a fair amount of work. More than usual:)

For the first day or so this was at 7.6-7.7 and than stayed at 7.1. I can not believe this! Thank you!

The eye model is my wife, the reflection in the eye is my daughter. Marta is holding a picture that some of you might have seen here before.



Once again thank you for all the votes and comments!

Very decent eye capture, the best of the lot so far. Great tones, perfect sharpness, nice reflection, good lower angle looking up. I've never seen an orange colour like this before. Highest mark for this theme.

classic, dont know how you got the smoothness in the corners, perhaps the light? eye color bit extreme
