Neat shot David. It almost appears as if he is dozing. In addition, the eye color is so pretty, looks like gold leaf.

Lovely detail David. Had you considered rotating the image 45 degrees CC? I feel as though I'm standing on my head to view it as is :wink:

What is the gold color on the eye and parts of the flower?

Ciao ;^)

You also captured your camera lens very well ...along w/ blue skies and clouds reflected in the eye!

I take photos of my horses' eyes, and this reflection of myself drives me crazy...but, in this case, it's interesting...especially, with that "touch" of blue sky.

You've nailed another one. The detail is out of this world. I like the tight intimate feel of this shot.

Really like the way you've framed the face here.
Love that eye. One can see the sky and your silhouette in there too :smile:
Well done! :toast:
