 This is brothers eye. Awesome right?
The light circle is the facial mirror in our bathroom. There is nothing edited about this photograph bar a minor lighting tweak in Photoshop.
It may seem that the iris of the eye is out of focus, but it isn't - his eyes are naturally like that, trust me, i checked!

Thank you and enjoy.

Since I'm giving this a rather low score, I feel I ow you an explanation on the reason why.
A few points seem to be missed during the execution of this photograph.
I would preferred a focus on the eye itself instead of on the lashes at the bottom right.
The ring flash's distracting. I understand you've used a ring flash because of the macro. But somehow I would have preferred seeing the reflection of a softbox. Or...the ring flash which was centred around the pupil. Don't know what effect this would have given; it's just an idea you know. But one I'm not totally convinced of myself.
Your WB looks also off; as if you've shot this under a UV light.
Perhaps all these points were intentional. In this case I'm really ridiculing myself now. If not intentional then this is worth giving it another try. I do hope I'm not offending you with all this.

Oooooh. Did you use a ring flash? I love the look of it in the eye.
