I like the shot as well and also noticed the 'scratchiness' in the eyes.
To me it looks like over-sharpening? Can you still see the scratches in the original file?

Well, when I convert it over to black and white, there's some scratchiness. I guess that leaves sharpening...I ran it through the unsharpen mask filter at 0.5 (the default), I thought the sharpening was pretty minimal since I just wanted to define the edges a bit more. Is 0.5 too much?

Gem, I was just wondering if we could see this in color? I know he has some fantastic brown eyes!!

Okay, now that actually worries me since I'm using a canon S5 O_O I usually run my pics through the unsharpen mask filter (at 0.5), but...I don't want it to be overdone and seem like I used something I didn't.

To me looking at the colour pic, some of the lines are reflections of eyelids on the eye. I'm not sure what the others are(stray eye lashes?), but most of the lines are present in both pics. Maybe a little PP in order just to clean them up.
Has the colour one been sharpened? It doesn't look like it...I mean it looks like a very sharp shot that doesn't need sharpening. Great photo Gem.
