That's dedication to the cause, brother. Hope you waited a while and you could have gotten a good before/after shot! I like the symmetry of the shot, and how his arms bring the focus of hte eyes down to the feet.

Definitely creativity working here. I never, never never would've thought of this. On the other hand, not terribly appealing. Good luck - Inspzil

This is a very nice macro of the eye. The use of B&W was a good choice. I really like the detail of the pupil. Great work, top 10 in my opinion.

I knew there would be an eye shot as a window to the soul this week. I didn't know, however, it would be this good of an eyeshot! I like that you chose black and white. The detail and clarity is amazing to me. I'd be interested in what equipment you used, lighting, etc. Great job! 9

OK, now that's dedication. I love the composition, with the placement of the legs and arms, however I find the hair on the legs pretty distracting: competiting pretty strongly with the square on the head. I'll give you a 9 because of its overall quality. Jacko. 9

I really like this photo for a reason that I can't really place. I like the B&W. The whole photo is like a giant non-sequiter...

Fantastic foto!!! Very original concept which deserves extra points in its own right. The unusual pose, contrast of hairy legs with the rounded shading of arms, the crossed wrists, wrinkled cloth backdrop are particularly outstanding visual elements. B&W was undoubtably the wisest choice. Beautiful rendered tones and minute detail. Gets a 9 vote from me... and certainly worthy of at least that from many others. Excellent work!!!
