A tribute to my partner´s blue eyes

Here you will probably always get a lower vote for soft-focus or out-of-focus pictures unless people ae completely convinced it's deliberate and necessary. In this case, I'd have recommended using the narrower aspect ratio (640x427) to draw more attention to the eyes. I'd have probably gone all "arty" if I really wanted to use THIS shot -- I have messed around with it and posted it at pBase at:

If you don't want anyone else to see, let me know and I'll delete it.

The effect of the flash on the skin in the lower part is a bit harsh. Having the specular highlight overlap the pupil instead of the iris would be better, although it's nice and small. Good focus, detail.

I like the composition and contnt, and for ths challenge I can even see deliberately heightening the difference between fore- and background. Still, I think I'd want to boost the contrast and detail of the background if I was going to print it for frequent viewing...

I can relate in several ways. I might have said "must be taken.." instead of "are to be..." and underlined the word "must" to make sure all those literal-minded voters saw how it met the challenge.

Thank you both! In case you didn't see it in the previous thread, here is the key to the palette of ingredients I used. If you browse though the gallery at pBase you'll also see larger versions of the design which somewhat inspired this, and my adaptation.
