So Cool!! I thought at first that you accomplished the effect in post prossesing! How my heart lifted to see it was all done with the magnifying glass! How Creative! Love it and a FAV for me! :)
@kwind K on Picmonkey they have an application called focal zoom or fancy focus and i believe you can use either one of these to get this kind of effect...Maybe not as Perfect as yours though, that is why i thought maybe it was done in Postprosessing...i wouldnt be able to do any post-pross if it wasnt for picmonkey!! :)
@ellimae I did sharpen her eye within the circle part and blurred the other area slightly using my Aperture program as part of her hair was too focused and didn't match the rest of her face. Then I used a picmonkey feature (I can't remember which one) that adjusted the tones slightly. There was definitely editing involved but the magnifying glass played the biggest role in emphasizing her eye.
