[asherexplore]

yea, its mine..
i adjusted some levels a bit but thats about it.
unique? i thought all eyes were unique.. hell i've got another just about like it.

amazing attention to detail.
i'd leave it like it is.

The funky shaped highlight across the eyes is the only thing that bugs me. Other than that I love it as is. Great shot!

I think the post-processing raises the appeal factor of this shot, but at the same time you might've gone a tad too far: a second look at the image suggests that by making the wrinkles disappear you've made the image a bit unnatural.

Other than that, I love it.

your eye makes a sort of star pattern, with a base of shades of green with patches of dark red and tan.. thats pretty unique. or maybe i just haven't seen an eye lately

ok, well..
i will accept the bonus points for the thread title! thanks
wrinkles? i didn't try to do anything to any wrinkles..

the highlite in my eye is from the sky. i was looking through a picnic shelter.
is it weird if i post the same shot before i edited it??
im curious what you guys would think then..

 

[asherexplore]

oh hell.. here is what came out of he camera.

i feel like im detracting from my edit by showing this.. but
i kinda feel like i just got lucky on this shot.
i really didnt do that much PP
i think the original is awsome too

I think you did a really great job with the edit. It helps that you had a great shot to begin with.

My bad. The light-brownish semi-circle under your eye misled me. I guess your eye is not the only unique thing about this image!

 

[asherexplore]

thanks!
i just feel like it has potential to be more than i've made it..
i guess it is a relatively common idea though.. close up of a face/eye..

its a hand shot self portrait..done in my studio/office/kitchen/home/..truck

 

[Harmony]

what a beautiful eye!

i think if you are in the position to reshoot, maybe lowering the eye in the frame so that the eyebrow is not cut off at the top?

a nice shot nonetheless.
