Take a look at this one full size - I have added details in the iris of the eye that is better seen in a larger size.

Thanks for the comments -
Just to clarify - this is a total manipulation.
4 original images were combined here to create this image.
--------------------------------------------------------------
- A photo of the Earth (set to about 35% transparency so you can see a little of the texture of the original eye)
- A photo of leaves (top layer set to 38% transparency)
- A photo of a bottom of a face (blurred out, texture added, and then darkened)
- A photo of my right eye (Mirrored and then both tilted slightly) Two layers of these, one for the top and then one at a lower level to give some texture to the earth photos)
All of these were combined and then a soft spot light was added just above the top picture line to limit the light to the top region of the face.
Enjoy.

Wow .. I love it when people take the time to explain how something was done
I think, maybe, the leaves should have more presence

When you stare into the abysmal, the abysmal stares also into you ---Friedrich Nietzsche (sorta)
Tracie, this image is excellent, the way you handle the skin color of the different images to equalize them is great, at first sight i thought it is a single photograph. Very well done! :)

wow, thank you for the detailed description.. this is something new, i haven't seen something like this before.. and i like it a lot :) congratulations on the brilliant idea!
i like all parts of it, but the earth in the eyes is simply stunning, a great effect.. although, maybe it would be even better if the other hemisphere would be visible on the other eye ;) nevertheless, great idea and details. nice blending and effects, too :)
thank you for sharing this one with us, highest marks from me :) enjoy your day!
oh and.. you have beautiful eyes :o)

Quite impressive. I don't know if I could recreate that if handed the same sources. Well done.

I absolutely love the idea of this image. I would have liked to see more 'foliage' on her face, but I especially like what you did with her eyes. Very nice.

Great composition! Very original and creative.
This could be a picture of the ancient greek godess Gaia.
The earth in the iris is a nice detail.
I like it that you explained how you did this. Always helpful for the rest of us.

"Love starts at home: family first then the indivdual then your town. its easy to love people far away,but it is not always easy those right next to us. I do not agree with the big way of doing things. Love needs to start with an individual." -Mother Teresa ( But in my opinion whever there is world crisis it is wise to give.)
Wonderful image Tracie... I'll have to try that layer thing. lots to learn yet...Nicely done...Bill
