Thanks David, are you going to comfort me when I wake in the middle of the night with this image in my head ;-) Fantastic and creepy all at the same time.

It´s absolutly crazy! :-)))

kinda creepy...

freaky, creepy, but funky.
reminds me of gepetto.

How disturbing! ;)

Thought this was some sort of wierd alien shot..... Your eye?

I'm sure I can see your fovea centralis

The very center of the macula is called the fovea centralis, an area where all of the photoreceptors are cones; there are no rods in the fovea.  The fovea is the point of sharpest, most acute visual acuity.  (The center of the fovea is the “foveola.”)  Because the fovea has no rods, small dim objects in the dark cannot be seen if one looks directly at them.  For this reason, to detect faint stars in the sky, one must look just to the side of them so that their light falls on a retinal area, containing numerous rods, outside of the macular zone.

Wow thats scary - so glad this isn't gonna be the last thing I see before I go to bed >.<

Just a heads up to those who may not know, this is a stereoscopic 3D image (Cross your eyes and the picture in the middle becomes 3D). So have fun trying to get it to work.

Dave: Are you a fan of Tool? Their new album due out May 2nd comes with a stereoscopic image viewer built in. They also love imagery of the eye in reference to our 'third eye'. I could be way off base, but I had to ask.

On second glance it may not be stereoscopic as I first thought.

An interesting diptych...to say the least :-)

Given yesterday's post along with this do I detect a Mr. Nightingale that is pushing the boat out a bit in certain areas? I'm keeping a close eye on this ;-)

nicley done

Ye' old evil eyes are putting a hex down. Thanks for sharing the technique.

very creepy. i was eating lunch when i saw this! not very pleasant

Dave (and everyone else): yep, it's not exacty a relaxing image ;-)

EssPea: it's the same image repeated twice rather than a stereoscopic one. Mind you, the crossing the eyes thing is fun. And no, I've not even heard of Tool - I'll look them up.

Mark: more a case of having to be inventive in the absence of anything else to put up ;-)

"Crazy frog meets lithium shortage during a flashback of a CHIP infested BPS visit" Sombre, Dominicanesque incantations of "SSR....SSR...mea culpa" (punctuated far too intermittently by a joyous "SLR! SLR!") precipitate the descent into the seventh complex of torturous, academic purgatory...(and the blight known as "punked, pink-eye")

(*And* wut Dr Meahean said)

Now shush, I'm stil constructing a story on the lady subjected to "a series of unfortunate events"....culminating in her standing at the sea wall like a French Lieutenant's Woman ...with ultimate pathos.

(By the way, the Wolfblass is excellent)

My eyes hurt just looking at this. You did a superb job with this. I'm sure it's exactly the way you feel.

I had been checking your photoblog for a month or so, and I've become addicted to it. And this is my first reply there, and I must say that you always manage to surprise me.

The picture is odd, is beautiful, and it's unexpected... but it's also a reward and the answer of a mistery: So that's the eye behind the camera, the eye that looks what I find here daily! Glad to meet you, eye. I envy you.

I feel a lot of comfort in the fact that you didn't used flash. It would had been painful, I guess.

I tried something like this a while ago: click.
Didn't crop as close though..

This is more "bodyworlds" style... (click again). By that I mean the skin around the eyes sorta looks like muscle tissue..

Scary almost!

Just got back from the pub; there was a laptop lying on the table in front of me and after reading the latest rubbish about the next England manager I checked out your latest image. Arresting, you've done it again. Cheers!

Scary! I jumped when I saw it.

Yes this is fairly disturbing but yet interesting.

oh, the person is using his/her hands to open the eye.
i can do that without touching my face =P hahaha
bizarre

How bizarre...I've just had an eye test. It seems I need reading glasses. Looks like you need new eyes..! keep smiling :~)

Those eyes look purely savage! Miklos, I like the bodyworlds reference.

Holy crap. Hahahah nice cropping job to up the fear factor!
And I love how you said 'magnifying glass' shooting mode :P

I am glad you are not the creator! Because if you had been I would have run around scared and with my eyes closed!

Thanks everyone.

miklos: I like your shot, especially the reflection in the iris. And you're right, it is quite like some of the bodyworld images: I hadn't thought of that connection.

Anvi: the T9 does have a 'magnifying glass' mode ;-)

tongue in cheek: I did take this shot. it was a bit fiddly, and this is one shot from about 50 (composition was a bit of a problem), but it is a self-portrait.

very grose shot man!

scaring

great shot. impressive sharpess and very nice post processed!

Damn it, everytime I think I have Chromasia themes catalogued, you make a new kind of shot. You are not giving us any space for innovation, taking it all for you :D

I thought the eyes were from a poster!

sure is a bit creepy!!! but i kinda like it! I'm not too sure about the coupling of the images! I know it forces people to compare the two but other than that... in this one I don't see any reason for it!

I was wondering if that was your eye, it might be time for a little nap.

Scary and a bit disturbing.

Thanks everyone :-)

I'd never have said it was human if it weren't for the explanation. You need more sleep!

well...I'm disturbed! cheers!

oh, and the pictures great by the way!

very creative, but quite disturbing and gross. fantastic shot though.

I know you got a lot of "Creepy's" and "weird''s, but i think that this shot is magnificent. I would be so overwhelmed and pleased if i got a photo as strong as this. It is wonderful, congratulations. I can's say how much i like it enough. GREAT JOB. it's thrilling.
