Just had some scans back from R & K (thanks Matt for the heads up). Took this a while ago so no specs to call upon. A very up close and personal experience. In case you've not worked it out already - it's a macro of the eye.

Thanks for looking.

There's something prehistoric about the shark family to my mind, That could almost be the eye of a dinosaur. Nice work.
