Most definitely. Unless you are an optometrist.

Well, I'm actually being semi-serious here. My crop was hurried, but it conveys a different feeling than your close up. I'll argue that a depiction of nothing more than an eye can still speak volumes.

ETA: I just remembered. I have images of my iris and retina, obtained from my optometrist. I'd planned to print one on canvas and hang it in my RL home.

I think that's probably true.

But then no one would be able to admire how very very bootiful I am.

Excerpt from "Thoughts Of Your Light". I was trying to capture a look of deep thought but I'm not thinking I pulled it off effectively.

Well... I think you sort of pulled it off. Depending on the type of thought you had in mind. It comes across as striking.

If asked what I thought was going on with you in the image, I would have said you were considering someone's proposition... rather coolly...  Still, it is serious thought. So... I think you did it.

Going with just the facial expression to clue the viewer is a challenge. Brave.

I took an easier approach and added some body language to accomplish something similar.

I used Black Dragon to alter the facial expression. That gave me detailed control over the head's position, eyes, and mouth.

Later I used Photoshop's Puppet Poser to fix some things, like the arm floating over the knee, I missed when taking the shot and to enhance some of the facial shadows.
