Eye macro

I love to shoot eyes and once again my son Iain was my model. As a member of http://www.deviantart.com/ I get tons of inspiration from the many talented artists there. This is a shot inspired by the shot found below at this link: http://ketutita.deviantart.com/art/eye-27513785.

This is the inspiration shot.

I placed a medium softbox about 15 inches above Iain who was laying in the ground. I used a f/2.8 100mm Macro on a Canon 5D and shot as closely as possible. In post I did a good bit to enhance the contrast, color and contrast.

Here's my finished shot.

Here's the before and after showing the enhance clarity and contrast.
