the cat's eye

I still can't believe I managed this - or that Simba managed to stay still for longer than 3 seconds so I could actually take the photo!

I love the crazy patterns and bumps and textures that irises have - so cool :)

Just also wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you who continue to stick around and pay my humble project a visit :) I appreciate EVERY SINGLE comment and follow! :)

(I don't mean to shout, I just want to emphasise my gratefulness for all of you guys :D)

Oh and if you have a chance, please check out my facebook page - http://www,facebook.com/teresa.simonetti.photography - for more of my photos :)

ha ha ha.... I tried to get a photo of a horses eye some time ago and ending out giving up... Now they have some strange looking eyes when you look close.

That is some amazing detail! Brilliant macro with your reverse lens! Do you have a mount or are you free handing?

Brilliant - every time I get that close I get wet nose loves on the the lens and their pupils dilate!
