Un paired

There is actually an real name for this: Heterochromia iridum

Vicky's get pushed this week: self portrait with the next Five plus Two theme. And the theme is odd.

@summerfield look :-)

[Pyrrhula]

Kunt U het ook uitspreken? Had David Bowie dat niet ook?

[Brennie B]

You are in good company my dear.David Bowie had the same condition..

[bkb in the city]

Very interesting

[Beryl Lloyd]

Two of a kind but of different colours , I remember as a student in Bangor (years and years ago !! ) one of my uni friends had odd coloured eyes ! and as Brenda says so did David Bowie !

[summerfield]

awesome, saxa! in the 19th century, people with this condition were treated as pariah or freaks. i actually think it looks awesome. jane seymour has blue and purple eyes. david bowie actually has both blue eyes, but had an accident that resulted in a permanent dilated pupil. aces!

i wont be able to do your push this week but i do intend to do it; i shall tag you when i shall have posted it next week. thanks.

[Leana Niemand]

How interesting, not something that is very common. Great shot. a fav.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

@pyrrhula @brennieb @bkbinthecity @beryl @summerfield @leananiemand thanks for your comments. I find it very intriguing, these oddities. My eyes are not hetero chromo. For the viewer the right eye is my own colour, the left eye I 'changed' in post processing.

[Beryl Lloyd]

@overalvandaan -- and there was us thinking you were unique !! ha -- great processing !

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

@beryl no uniqueness at all, just very average, my eyes ;-)

[Dione Giorgio]

The shot is wonderful, to begin with. I think this is very uncommon - the first time I came across it myself.

[Caroline]

This is so fun Saxa!! Lovely eyes you have, regardless of the color :) I do confess that in the past I've image-googled heterochromia just so I'd get to see different colored eyes because I think it looks so cool. :)

[David]

Looks like indecisive chromosomes were involved! Often inherited... are there other examples in your family?

[Sally Ings]

Very creative response to your challenge.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Brilliant processing. And also Alexander the Great had impaired eyes: just because one needs to model after someone...

[Sue]

Well you had us all fooled there. Great use of post processing for your Get Pushed challenge

[Jennifer]

excellent and well done

[Naomi]

This is interesting - something to make you very unique!

[Kathy]

How fascinating. Cool selfie.

[Rachel]

Very cool!

[Louise & Ken]

Over 50 years ago, I dated a dear fellow with one blue and one brown eye...I always thought it gave him a distinct and charming look! Until today I never knew there was a name for that! Lucky you to be singled out to be so unique!
