What can i say but thankyou to everyone for their input.
I have decided to post a new version based on the first post as i felt it was truer to the idea i wanted to convey. I have however totally started from scratch again with different images.
The biggest challenge was taking a picture of my own eye, sixty three shots later i got it right ! Is this obsessive !!
Take care and many thanks to everyone.
Hope you approve

Very cool idea. I like it a lot. Only thing is the aperture blades being slightly off-center was just a bit distracting for me. Great image overall.
Thankyou for that i posted it quickly before i had to pick up my son from scouts.
Take care

in photoshop Tweek th ebottom half of the image without hte text overlay until you get the shuttle layer centered left to right and the amount of white you wish then select the bottom half exactly in the cented of your desired layout and then create a mirror image and then add a littl over lay with some blurringto hide the fact of the areas mettign and then add the text overlay.
I like this idea very much. Obviously a shot created in PP, so you might as well spend the needed time getting it perfect. But I like it as it stands now.

I love the shot, partly for the gorgeous detail in the eye, but I also like how you have wonderfully captured the WA. Stunning work. Good luck this week,
Chad, Trent, Steve and Peter
Thanks for the support i didnt know if this was going to work as the picture of my eye and the camera lens were clearly put together in photoshop. I wasnt sure if it was within the spirit of the WA
Many thanks and Take care

Any chance of the whole eye rather than trimming off the edges or a tighter crop with no lashes.
Great shot, fantastic colour.

Sorry Adam I tried the full crop, got rid of the lids and lashes. The image just lost its impact, I showed it to people at home and they even asked what it was. So i took your second piece of advice and went for a crop just including the lashes and lid. Hope you approve.
Take care
