5th: OOOPS by Abstract

Had this idea for a while but couldnt get time to shoot earlier.
After listening to my idea, if Jano had not motivated me to shoot this in the chat room last night, I wouldnt have entered in this challenge. Thanks, Jano.

I setup two table lamps on two sides of my face (for similar reflections in eyes) and
used on-board flash with low power.
As I wanted focus only on eyes, nose, cream, and tongue, high-key was an obvious choice.
Had to add blur on edges for shallow dof feel.

Canon PowerShot S1 IS
1/60s f/3.1 at 8.9mm with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Can't get much more centered than that! Very funny Abs and I like your processing! Now didn't your mother tell you not to do this or your eyes will stay that way? ;-)CJ

Too funny and with the eyes looking inward, this is centered :)

Well, this is Abs as we've never seen you before! Very funny...and very good. You knew that being able to cross your eyes would come in handy someday, didn't you?
