Yes, it's natural color, and if not right on, then very close, i didn't try to manipulate that. The reasoning for the crop was to make it more interesting and a little unnerving, but i did consider other ways of framing it. Thank you for all your comments!!!!
WOW! Is that the natural eye color? The detail is AWESOME! VERY cool! The one thing I don't like is the crop (if there is one). I would prefer to see the entire eye instead of having the eyelashes partially cropped off or maybe even a tighter crop so all ou see is the eyeball.... that's just me though! Very cool shot, regardless.
