Ablaze
So I’m afraid that a close-up of an eye with various work in photoshop may be a bit cliché- but enough people have done it that I don’t have a particular example to credit as my inspiration. Created in photoshop with a picture I took of my eye (next to the sink :) ) and a picture of a campfire from this summer. I now also have a second in a series of element eye images Awash – let me know what you think, I think I like Ablaze better but it will be cool when I have all of them…

Well, Judging by the amount of comments, your ‘cliche’ eye image was well worth your effort.

...and a great interpretation it is too Michelle, I think the choice of a high key works very well
Kerbachard
I like all your work you’ve posted. I really like this one! very cool, you definetly brought “art” into a photo. The image in the pupil creates good center, igniting the rest. (It is a volcano?)
Kerbachard
HA! read your comment on it, it’s a campfire. Very good and I think choosing white as the background was a very good choice, brings it into focus. No pun intended :)

Nancy CC Smith
Wow, wow, wow! This one really struck me. It is really done perfectly! From the direction of the flames leading to the direction of the reflection of the eyelashes in the eye, then on to the eyelashes themselves. It is gripping. I look forward to seeing more.

love the pic…. just brilliant
DarkSerenity
Love both the Awash and the Ablaze that you have so far. Might I suggest for the series (should you keep doing them) is that you have one for each color of the rainbow. ie Green could be forests/grass, yellow could be the sun, etc.
Just a thought.
Keep up the great work !
