Critique Club Review:

Any more macro, and this would have been micro.

Color, saturation and hue are excellent. Focus is good and depth of field holds up well. At this level of magnification it is hard to know if it could have been sharper. Some of your lower scoring voters may have taken softness of the structures as a softness of focus.

If this is a self portrait of your eye, you did a heck of job getting a capture this useable.

I like the red and the black. I might like it a little better, a little brighter. It almost borders on too dark for me. At the same time I like the deep black of the pupil against the iris.

I'm not a huge border fan, but I think a thin border here, using colors from the image might help also.

Excellent capture and I have no idea why you did not score better. Perhaps some people are squeamish about this much detail in a body part. I just don't know. I could see this hanging in a gallery, or used in a magazine advertisement.

Excellent photo, you should have been in or near the top ten with this one.
