Easily the best eye macro I've seen in a long time. Love the PP and detail.

Thanks Brent. BTW, the line in the eye is in the original image. I don't know why I didn't work around it before :) jano

Saw the previous version just briefly Jano, but this one makes much more of an impression with me.

Great Rod--- I totally agree. We like it here also so it will stay. :) jano

That's way better for me now as it has some of your individual touch now, the partial desat was the same as 1,000s of others but this looks more original & one off now with a bit more colour. Lovely look.

Rod...this is the same photo, processed with a more edgy feel. Thanks all for commenting. jano

Jano this is stunning!! Penny Street

Have you tried other processing techniques with this Jano as this sort of PP is a bit cliche a. Excellent eye picy & very clear.

I tried this idea but didn't come anywhere near this beautiful photo. Well done, Jano.
