I got a macro lens for 50% at Circuit City's sale so figured I'd use it for the month. I asked Taylor to pose so I can get an eye shot and the best light was in the bathroom so I stood in the tub and clicked off a bunch. At 2.8 and about a foot away I only got a few in focus. This didn't turn out quite how I envisioned it, but I'm going to keep at it.

Gorgeous! Love the high key! Is that the bathroom window? I love window reflections in eyes, it' so cool to have a square catchlight.

This is fantastic. I love macro eye shots. I did one for the brown redo challenge, had to get hazel to rest her head down and had the camera on a tripod. I manually focused using live viewas that was the only way, I zoomed in on the live view using the + which makes manual focus easy

Not sure what you were envisioning, because this is superb as it is! Focus is right on, the high-key treatment is very striking, and that square of light is indeed a nice departure from the norm. Wow!

beautiful eye!
the pure sharpness-and high key works very well-the box highlight is very nice, it breaks the norm with all these curvy shapes.

This is a beautiful eye shot, and I've seen a lot that aren't. I think the high key really works well as does the soft and sharp focus mix.

Ken! Haven't seen you in eons. Glad you're doing this side.

The photo is amazing - high contrast, high key - sharp where it needs to be. Love the rectangle in the eye. It's like a door to somewhere else.

This is excellent and I really like the high key treatment you gave it. Don't know how you wanted this to turn out but it looks really good to me. And ditto to Jutilda's comment.

I don't know if this is your first macro but this is the one lens I would not do without. It really helps in taking images of the stuff we don't normally see and/or from a POV we're not used to.

That little square of light is really what makes the shot for me. Like a window to another dimension. You know, the eyes are the windows to the soul. :~)

Oddly, I really like the square reflection - makes it a bit more unique!

Not sure how you envisioned it, but certainly works for me. It's a nice contrasty shot.

Nice high contrast and sharpness. My husband has this lense but I've never really tried it. It will be interesting to watch what you do with it this month.

Very nice macro. The highlight is unusual, it adds to the Warhol Pop Art feel of the image. I'd like to see more images in this unique style!
