Great detail and super sharp.

Good work.

How was your sight after that?

Ah, the old ringlight effect.
You probably didn't need the vignette.

Thanks for sharing this well captured eye.

Careful with that light, may damage someone's eyesight.

Try cloning out the catchlight. Im curious to see how it looks

Creepy....

I made sure to take long breaks between shots and alternated eyes as I repeated the shot, especially when the P-TTL cut out on the K-5, causing the ringlight to fire at full power.

Eventually I switched over to X-sync, set the flash manually to 1/16 power and worked from there. This was much easier on the eyes, as I didn't have to worry about P-TTL cutting out or fighting the urge to blink from the pre-flash.

I sorta like the vignette, as it make it look even creepier, like I'm looking through a peephole or something. Not sure whether I prefer the version with the catchlight or not, but thanks for putting it up.

Thanks for the comments so far!
