The square is a reflection from the original photo.

I left it in to keep a sense of depth. Thanks for the feedback.

Nice .. I would consider removing the "glint" of light, making it smaller ... and add, maybe, a goldfish ...

Very nice manip- I don't mind the light reflection, as my eyes were so intruiged by the pattern in her eye that I didn't even notice. Is that my long lost planet in there?!? :)

"A Dream Within a Dream" is one of my favorite poems! Great title for a great picture!

nice concept and manip - I would have been tempted to fill the whole eye with the fractal and maybe make it a deeper blue but hey thats just me - alternately keith's goldfish plan sounded like a winner to me as well.

This image is very dramatic and nicely retouched. How ever concentrate on the left side of the eye since there is an effective blurr is visible. Since the shot is very sharp if you kept the sharpness of the edject as it was this would have beeing much better.

at first i didnt like the little reflection but then i thought about how it would look without it, and i thought, it wouldn't look 'right' without it because it might not look like an eye.

I actually like the slight blur on the left hand side, for me it works to give the image a more sublime, ethereal feeling. I love whatyou have done with this marco, it is a wonderful concept that you have executed perfectly. I particularly like how the black eyeshadow and pale skin give the real part of the image a very colourless visage, which makes the colour of the eye stand out even more. 10/10 from me and into my faves!
