This is what we call "close"

Thank you for your kind comments I wish I had something in the iris though to make it more intresting besides my lense

Oh my gosh! this is incredible! well done!!

Congrats

Nice shot, and only one item coloured.

Very good shot!

I think you should have a space in front of the aircraft, the light is not good, and the photo (looked at in hi-res) is not in focus.

I think you need some new glasses pal..........or maybe wipe the smudges off your screen from watching the wrong stuff!!

As for space in front of the plane...........why??. the focus is on the blue object, not the plane.

The square is symmetrical, but the picture is not ...

nice 1

HAY BUDDY THANXXXXX A LOT

how in the world did you do that to your eyes?! :O

It was just the lighting

could you explain why all the detail under your eyeball and over your eyeball shows, even the finest details like wrinkles and pores, but yet your whole eyeball is completely black? I just don't get it.

As i said, it was just the lighting and chance. I had a light directly underneath me, that and a combination of reflection and shadow. A few turned out like it. All i have done for this image is convert from raw and slightly adjusted the curves, oh and the saturation. My sunglasses bring out the detail you mentioned. That is all i will say to remain anon a miss. Or i am just plain devilish.LOL. The harsh light does nothing for my complection.

weird the way lighting works sometimes huh? I'm going to be honest with you...I redflagged this because I could have sworn you took a black soft brush to the eye sorry. I do believe you now though because I realized it can actually happen if the room is dark enough and the light reflected enough from your glasses onto the face just under the eyes. Sorry I didn't believe you at first *blushing* I still don't know who this is

scary

Great shot! very moody, and I must say ,silver fox sexy!
