My GF's eye... Edited heavily. Probably the only high key image I've done that I like.

Not too hard really.

I just take it into PS and draw a circle selection around the iris of the eye, then use the polygonal lasso tool to deselect the eyelids.

Then I create a new layer, set the blend mode to color and use the circular gradient tool to apply a rainbow of color within the circle.

I then adjust the layer until everything looks right.. This image also has a white overlay.

Hope that helps!
