Charlotte,
A fantastic close up picture Ben's left eye showing all the beautiful colours in his iris. Artistic composition, taken with love & superb camera techniques & razor sharp focus. Best of luck in the contest.

Guess I'm not going to bother checking to SEE if I have any images to enter in this contest-LOL! I'll bet he was more than happy when you were done trying to blind him, but what a spectacular photo of Ben's eye, the detailing is incredible, and I love the various colors. My best wishes to you in this contest!

Ha ha he was very happy when it was over - I'd had to bribe him with the promise of a large print for his wall!
Thank you SO very much for your wonderful review and extra star!

Thank you VERY much Brian for your great review and the six stars!
No, Ben didn't enjoy it very much, but he was as good as gold and chuffed to bits with the final result - I've promised him I'll get a large version printed for his wall, that kept him happy! Lol

Oh groan indeed! LOL

Comment from Jewell McChesney
Wow! Fantastic results you finally achieved after several tries! Poor Ben! Ouch!
I especially admire the fact that the Iris looks like a sunflower! There was no editing to achieve that?

Ha ha no he didn't enjoy it very much, but was thrilled with the final outcome.
The was a LOT of cloning and spot healing brush as the lights had created too many highlights.
Thank you SO much for your wonderful review and high rating.

A very creative submission to the contest. A great shot of the eye showing the myriads of colors that actually makeup of the iris of the eye.

A pretty unique entry. I like the clarity of the details inside the pupil of this eye. The diversity of prominent colors, shapes, and patterns are likewise amazing. Great close up shot, Charlotte. Wishing you the best in this contest.
