Eye Shadow - a photo on Flickriver

Eye Shadow

            I suspect that what I most like about this already submitted image will be missed in a thumbnail. Hence the liberty of turning a view from a standard lens into something like that of a portrait lens. (In fact, the more it is enlarged the better it looks to me.)

Both eyes of the sitter, having the same hazel and green mixture, would normally share the same monochrome tones, but in the strongly directional natural window light (possibly augmented by a relatively weak overhead electric light), one eye was half in the shadow of its own lashes.

Maybe too a subtle difference of expression left to right, à la 'Mona Lisa'...

I also like that the depth of field of the beautiful Petri FT EE, F1.8 55mm lens was so narrow that the earrings began to retreat into bokeh.
