I didn't notice the eye until I read the comments. Now the thing just jumps off the screen and stares at me - I can't get away from it!!! :D Probably was the subconscious. See how well the subliminal works? That's why in advertising they sneak their stuff into the droplets. If you search thru the other shtos, do any of them show the eyeball? ~ Lonnit

I sorted out, cropped and converted half a dozen shots and everytime i went through them deciding which to post this one leapt out at me because of the large central drop. Must have been my subconcious but no, i didn't notice any eye.

You buffoon Paul. You get all these compliments on your artiiiiiistry by how clever to have the oh so subtle eye in one of the drops. Then blow it by saying you didn't spend hours trying to get it & it was an accident. You have a lot to learn about art mate.

You mean it wasn't intentional???

Thanks all. I find the light at the top works for me. I've tried different crops of the original shot but come back to this one every time. I also tried toning the brightness of the white down too but that looked a like a dogs dinner. Great how we see different things though, i never noticed the eye until Mary Anne mentioned it.

EWWWW the alien is staring back at me!!! Freaky!! But the white adds tension - I'm drawn over there but I can't help staring back at that eyeball! The tension is an awesome support to the staring eye so leave that white!!! ~ Lonnit

The large drop is too cool! The white at top I might crop a bit as well. But hey, in this challenge, I don't know much!!! Yvonne

Paul, You are getting a little edgy on this challenge. Good to see. I like this, but the white at the top is a little distracting.

Good catch Mary Anne. The photo is really nice, I like it.

Paul, is that your eye that I see in the large drop in the middle?

I think this would look great in colour............What sort of rash is it?
