Very nice note. Very cool picture, the crispy details are amazing. Colors are perfect, exposure right on it.

I like the Zoom effect on it which creates a perfect focus on the eye.

Great job!

HI Fred
Very impressive photography, The details are spectacular, love the composition and we even get as a bonus some light reflections off the eye. The pp work with the zoom blur is quite effective. Very nice work.

Awesome shot of this reptile eye Freddie.
The zoom blur is a great effect ... almost makes it look like some 'other worldly' creature or something created by Frank Oz.
Great work!

Hi Freddie,
I'm (still) lagging behind in my critiques.....but this is great PP-work. Excellent close-up perfect sharp in the middle (circle) the zoom effect makes it intrigue and the presentation in the large black square shaped frame makes it an outstanding posting.
