Bugger off, it's not fair if you win this too:-)

Yup, that's my old eye, still hazy after all these years. On second look, I should have cleaned my glasses and washed up for this shot. I feel I can hardly take any credit - just held up the camera in good indirect light, peered into the lens and snapped several times. Lucky.. one worked. No time for pp either except for a quick unsharp mask after resizing. -tv

Well now THAT's something that I've never seen before.. in detail... sharp detail, in fact. Nicely snapped, TV. Tripod or handheld? Is this your beautiful eye? Perhaps the bifocal line does distract a bit... but it's Truth and is beautiful in its honesty. ~Lydia

Nicely shot tv. Tack sharp right on the spot focus and DOF. I like that I can see detail in the iris and that you kept your glasses on, they frame the eye quite nicely. The bifocal line in the lens is a little distracting though, no biggie.But I think some contrast adujstment and some slight dodge to the eye will reveal some more cool detail in your eye.

Now that's up-close and personal Tom - I feel like we're nose to nose here! I'd probably blink if I tried to do this! :-) CJ
