So, I'm not unhappy with my score, so take that off the table from the start. I'm just trying to find out if I have a warped sense of vision or if anyone can see what I see.

This is what I wrote in my notes...
This is a horse eye. Very close. Like inches close. Through a fence. It cost me a number of carrots and some horse spit on my lens. I tried.

To me, the pupil looks like a woman dancing in a black full length dress in a field of flowers. Magnify it, look close. See the arm pointing out? The foot poking out on the bottom, and the wide brim hat? Now put it back to actual size and look. See it? I'm probably doomed because the non dpc people I've shown it to have only seen it once I pointed it out so I'm sure the 3 second voters won't have a clue.


If you're on a PC, hit ctrl + twice, look at the pupil. What do you see?

Now that you mention it, I can see her. But I awarded this photo based solely on how you isolated the eye from its head.

My first impression of this interesting comp was the eye's independence. I spent some time trying to imagine what kind of animal & decided it was a grazing animal, based on the position of the eyelashes. I couldn't see the chain link fence at all except in the thumb, but the BG looks like it might be a reflection of something, & I spent some time admiring that. I never did get around to the lady in the black dress dancing in the eye. Now that I see it, it's impressive. For me, less BG would've helped me see her. But less BG would've de-emphasized the eye's isolation. Photography amazes me every day with thing things that are right there, that I fail to see. I'm sorry I missed the dancing lady (she looks like she's having a very good time), but glad you posted this. "D

Not only am I glad you posted this interesting effect you managed in that eye picture, but also because you taught me that "Control +" magnifies the screen.

Nice to know! Thanks.

I saw the dancer and gave this a 10. Knew it was a horse eye. The fence threw me off a bit not sure it being some sort of bridle.

Happy to help Alice! LOL @ jagar! I'm just so happy that other's can see it, even if it took pointing out.
