Nice definition in the lashes. I wonder if you would have been more pleased with the outcome if the pupil had been looking directly at the lens.

My favourite of the eye based images for this challenge. One thing that really struck me with this image is the colour and tone of it. It makes the image far more interesting to look at rather than skin toned ones. Did you use a duotone? Focusing is nice and sharp, eyeball isn't bang in the centre of the image so makes composition really pleasing. I hope this image does well in the challenge. Good Luck!

DOF too shallow. Would like to see the pupil in focus as well

Very cool, I love the way he is looking right into the camera. Good light too, and I like the nice, tight crop.

technically flawless but a little short on the WOW factor for me. It just needs that little something to make it pop. 7

A bit over saturated, ruins what was a beautiful capture. I adjusted the saturation in Photoshop and had to reduce it by 30 to get a natural colour.
