Eye-yi-yi!

So very very cool! Not only the desat but to catch your hand is awesome. So, Elizabeth Taylor, are your eyes really that color or is it the contacts?? Is that a contact circle in your eye??
Gayle P. Clement23-Apr-2005 02:50
This is really good work. You do have the most beautiful blue eyes. GMV

Nice eye color!

Glad you are keeping an eye out for us Gary LOL
Robin Reid22-Apr-2005 13:44
The comments and your replies covered all my reactions, concerns and questions. So let me just say that isolating the blue (and the sharp reflection) from the rest of the b&w face with the tight crop is an excellent move.!

I was about to ask..but you have already covered the progress. Like the selective colour, Gary.
JeremyGood22-Apr-2005 07:48
You have beautiful eyes big guy.
Gary Winters22-Apr-2005 07:04
Ah yes, thanks for asking, Ron. This is the eye that had the fungus on it. At the moment, all is well. But I'm not out of the woods yet, although for now, the contacts are back in and we're taking a look at how well I tolerate them.
Guest 22-Apr-2005 07:03
Speaking of eye, how is your eye? is it much better now?
Guest 22-Apr-2005 07:01
its like a crystal ball....very mesmerising.
Gary Winters22-Apr-2005 06:57
I swear it's my own eye. And no, I didn't tweak it in Photoshop. I simply kept it blue while converting the rest of the image to black and white! To take the picture, I had my camera on a tripod at arm's length. I kneeled in front of the lens (about 6 inches away, because of the closeup filter on the end of the lens). I looked right into the camera, and fired the shutter with the IR remote. I promise you -- it's my eye!
Guest 22-Apr-2005 06:27
Beautiful, that eye is like a crystal, did you tweak it in Photoshop? :)
Guest 22-Apr-2005 06:27
Hmmm ... think I have to agree with Jeremy. I see someone photographing the eye in the eyeball, which when you come to think of it, you just can't do! :) Are you telling porkies, Gary???
JeremyGood22-Apr-2005 05:55
That is not your eye.
