My 100mm is kind of new to me as of right now but I've been having some fun with it

Original first one! Rly cool shot. Second one's not my thing

Thanks! Yeah, the second one was just something random, nothing special.

#1 is awesome, love the reflection.

I doubt that's a real reflection. Most likely, it's done in post.

It could be real. It seams the iris isn't in sharp focus and that the focus was(almost) on the reflection.

I see a very shallow DOF on the eyelashes. There's blood vessels in AND out-of focus... so how can the 'reflection' be as well?

And the person behind the camera doesnt look like a "Mallory" to me. Could be wrong.

Completely rel. I could email you an untouched original.

Honestly disappointed, I joined this forum today and I'm getting accused of that not being real? I'd state if it wasn't.

See I thought the complete opposite - I've seen loads of photos of closeup eyes before, usually with some sort of reflection or another, but the second one I really like because it's unique and quite beautiful in it's simplicity. The only thing I would change on this one is to crop out the little stick in the top right corner.

Oh don't worry this is nothing, we're up to 5 pages already on the latest 'newbie who wants to become a pro' thread

sooooo agree haha, that is nothing compared to some replies.

also don't take it personally , a reflection can be added after for an effect, it happens.
what would be insulting is if you stated, "no post processing, this is a real reflection" and then someone stated "yeah right."
hopefully no one would be so rude as to do that.

oh-- pretty pics btw !
new lenses are so fun.

I'd love to see an explanation of how there can be two different focus points.

Keep in mind..... the 'reflection' is NOT as the same focus point as the iris in the eye. It will be twice the distance from the eye to the reflected subject.
