As luck would have it my wife is an eye colour scientist, and she certifies this eye as hazel.

My son has hazel eyes, so I used his eyes as my color model:

[wooden_bender]

haven't been here in a while, got some free time at work and thought I'd give it a try

[soleah]

My first entry for this year...

[NancyJ]

I really tried to go with my interpretation of 'hazel eyes' (even though I know thats technnically not correct) but the brown/green just didnt take with the luminosity of the eye. I just couldnt console my idea of hazel eyes with the brightness of the iris, so I went for a different interpretation.

[Chelm]

Hi All, this is my first contest.

[LonK]

Here's my effort.

[Marthig]

Been a long time, the entries are all great, didn't look them in detail so as not to get influenced :P, hope I get some feedback and if (I should say when really) I didn't make it to the first 5 please someone say why thank you.
Well enjoy it.
