Your beautiful eyes.

Are these beautiful? I'm a little freaked out by them.

They're a little scary to me too.

NO NOT CREEPY AT ALL OKAY

Wow, the muscular nature of the iris is really obvious in these. It's weird how idiosyncratic they are and yet I assume they all function well/similarly.

Wow, they look like the surfaces of planets. I think it's cool. I wish there were some bright blues and greens though.

Amazing and beautiful, but I caught myself breathing "oh GROSS" a couple times. The incredible detail of the muscles is amazing but yeah, creepy.

I am struck by the incredible delicacy.

I didn't recognize the first images as eyes until I started scrolling. And I had no idea that irises had texture.

Awesome and creepy.

Yeah, I was thinking about function and wondering about the age and wellness of some of them. I have no idea what constitutes wellness. The lighting must have been crazy for some of those.

I like them - remind me a bit of the Merrie Melodies sign off.

(That Merrie Melodies photo is part of a pretty neat set....)
