THE WINDOW TO YOUR SOUL

 

yellow eye closeup macro Picture of the Day: The Window to Your Soul

 

This striking image was posted to Reddit yesterday. Her iris looks fascinating (ok that sounded weird), and apparently the ‘gaps’ or circles in the iris tissue that are so pronounced in this particular eye are known as ‘Crypts of Fuchs’, and vary in shape and size. In the comments the photographer states:

I took this picture last year using my Canon Digital Rebel XSi. I was just using the kit lens with a +4, 52mm macro filter. I lit it from the side using the LED flashlight on my HTC Incredible phone. [Source]
