EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Iris" showcases the intricate beauty of a human eye. Enhanced and colored using computer technology, this image highlights the mesmerizing details of the iris - a ring of muscle fibers that play a crucial role in our vision. The iris contracts and relaxes, skillfully adjusting the amount of light entering through the pupil, which appears as an intense black center in this photograph. The spherical shape of the eye adds to its allure, resembling a perfectly formed globe with its own sensory capabilities. The physiology behind this remarkable organ is truly fascinating; it enables us to perceive colors, shapes, and depth with astonishing precision. In vibrant shades of red, purple, yellow, and various other hues not typically associated with eyesight, this false-colored representation challenges our perception while offering an artistic interpretation. It serves as a reminder that ophthalmology delves into both science and artistry. As we gaze at this round canvas capturing a single iris in all its glory, we are reminded of how essential our sense of sight is for navigating the world around us. This thought-provoking print from Science Photo Library invites us to appreciate not only the physicality but also the wonderment behind one's eyes - windows to our souls.
