Thanks John. I've seen that now on a few of the other images that I've now done. Time to turn down the iris lighting. :-)

Just a touch of smoothing, not to the extent that it looks like liquid or plastic. Also, I used to lighten people's irises all the time, as you have. I find I backed off that practice over time as it gave people a slight animal-aspect. Now I sometimes lighten irises, usually keep them as photographed, and sometimes darken them.

Thank you as well Fred. Yep... I've started to darken the iris as well now. Thanks for the tip with the hair... I'll give it a try.
