Not too hard really.

I just take it into PS and draw a circle selection around the iris of the eye, then use the polygonal lasso tool to deselect the eyelids.

Then I create a new layer, set the blend mode to color and use the circular gradient tool to apply a rainbow of color within the circle.

I then adjust the layer until everything looks right.. This image also has a white overlay.

Hope that helps!

nice shot, great DOF...love the silhouettes and I like that the sunset doesn't appear to be over processed...what editing program are you using?

that's quite the storm, just a touch dark, and if this was taken in RAW you could make that little adjustment without giving up on the integrity of the picture...what a moment to capture...someday...
