Eyes.I wasn't sure which section I could put this in. I was having a play in PS and came up with this and thought you might like to see it.

Thanks Dave, it might have been the not soft and fluffy one if my aging brain recalls aright. 
Edited for a PS: See, soft and fluffy, I like soft and fluffy. What do these part time, unpaid, models know anyway?

I know you have a love - hate thing with soft and fluffy, so thanks for letting me borrow your eyes. You take a great picture, except when you haven't slept and look like something the dog dragged up the beach, but I wont mention that, ever. Aren't I nice? 
Hope your colds better.

Very striking.
Can you share your secret as to how you did this?

The mirror bit is the easy bit.

Get your eye or eyes and whilst it is in colour, get the eye colour exactly as you want it in the finished picture. Use the Unsharp Mask to make sure they are sharp. Once you are happy save that image.
The next job is to produce a black and white image, I desaturated it using Hue Saturation and Lightness. Reduce noise as much as possible using Filter> Reduce noise, don't worry about the B&W image getting a bit blurred and, using the Healing Brush make the skin as smooth as you can. (Select target areas by holding down ALT and clicking the chosen target area).
Select Filter >Diffuse Glow. For this image I used Grain 0, Glow Amount 11, Clear Amount 15, what you want is a perfect alabaster, smooth picture.
Open your colour image and Using the Move Tool Drag your B&W image on to your colour image. Make sure it's positioned perfectly over the top. Using a soft eraser at 100% opacity erase one eyeball on the B&W image. Reduce the opacity to 50% to expose some of the eye makeup on the same eye. Once you're happy, use the lasoo tool to select all that eye, copy it, paste it in a new image, mirror it, copy it and paste it over the other eye, and move it into position. Flatten the image.
As it happens I got the eye spacing wrong (too wide), so using a rectangular Marquee tool I selected the right eye, copied it, pasted it and moved it into the right position, then used the crop tool to cut the image to the right size. It would actually have made sense on this image to just do the one eye and mirror it later, just me being a numpty.
