Stunning image.
11/04/2005 11:33:52 PM
Cool concept, pity the contact lens itself is not sharply in focus.
11/04/2005 09:10:39 PM
great shot.
11/03/2005 08:46:15 PM
this seems just a tad over exposed, no detail on the finger.
Otherwise almost perfect! 9
11/03/2005 01:15:14 PM
beautiful photo! liked your post process! the eye is very catchy!
11/03/2005 10:43:08 AM
Terrific shot!
11/02/2005 09:12:32 PM
Wow, love the color scheme and the vivid blue eye. I like your choice to leave the eye the primary focus of your photo while blurring the contact lens.
11/02/2005 01:29:41 AM
Sharp. I think the high key is just a touch too much.
11/02/2005 12:56:41 AM
Incredible eye shot. - 10
11/01/2005 04:07:29 PM
excellent take on the theme. I really like this - good work.
11/01/2005 02:00:55 PM
'If in doubt, get the eyes sharp'. You did that exceptionally here. The muted colours are great and the detail is superb. I bet that this was difficult to capture with such shallow DOF.
11/01/2005 12:08:16 PM
Great contact lens ad material! I like the bluish tones and the entire composition is attractive.
11/01/2005 11:48:13 AM
this rocks!!
10/31/2005 11:08:17 PM
That's something you would see in a dr office
10/31/2005 08:08:19 PM
Nice, original idea. My hand never seems that steady when I'm putting my lenses in. Even though I've worn them for years, I still don't like the idea of sticking my finger in my eye. :-) 7

By far the best picture in this challenge. One suggestion might be to keep the contact lens in focus, but i think it is still a great picture.
10/31/2005 07:45:36 PM
great eye shot! nice and clear, love the color treatment. flawless composition. the eye demands so much of my attention in this picture, that i question its submission for this particular challenge (because i'm interpreting your transparant focus as the contact lens, which really just disappears against the amazing image of that eye.). absolutely gorgeous photo.
10/31/2005 04:52:01 PM
Wow, one of my favs so far!!
10/31/2005 04:39:59 PM
You have a good eye for structure. This is good. Nice colors, great textue and very strong image. 10.
10/31/2005 12:16:02 PM
Excellent idea! Too bad the lens wasn't in better focus. (Or is that before the lens is in!) :-)
10/31/2005 09:55:29 AM
excellent of course
10/31/2005 03:53:52 AM
Focus is right on the right spot with good amount of DOF
10/31/2005 01:50:53 AM
Awesome image. GREAT sharpness in the eye, and nice composition.
10/31/2005 01:46:26 AM
The fingernail is a bit washed out and the contact lens a bit hard to see, but the rest of the shot, composition and color all make up for it! 8.
10/31/2005 01:37:55 AM
NICE, love the detail in the iris of the eye. Creative shot too!
10/31/2005 12:22:21 AM
great idea!
