The eyes are the mirror of the soul

Almost everyone's seen this picture (cover picture again in National Geographic's 100 best pictures issue) from a NG article in1985 and some may have even read her story, 17 years after that famous picture was taken.


Today, I ran into this picture on Flickr, inspired by that famous picture.

Actually, Aaron achieves this effect through digital manipulation, as he explains and shows here; the link takes you to his blog, where he has many other examples of his work.

Creative stuff!
