Nice idea, but it needs to be sharper within the eye itself, plus I would have cloned out all of those white dots (looks like the sky at night with a eclipse of the moon).

Thanks Barry, I understand about the sharpness of the eye itself, because of my inexperience with macro. However, did you not recognise my interpritation of space, the final frontier, the meaning of life, No. 42 and everything?

Simple answer "No".

I presume that this was not your eye, as you would have had a camera up against it otherwise

I am sorry that you did not get my meaning Barry. This is a close up of my young boys eye (aged 5). He has a universe in his eye. Which was supposed to make us think. How big we really are!! Or, how puny we are compared to the rest of the expanse out there.

Regards....Phil

It is a close up of my sons eye. I was trying to show the potential of a whole universe inside it. Hense the title, how big are we? Within the expanse of this universe. Where does it start? Where does it end?

Got to this point and just worked out the spots were supposed to be there and it was the universe. Too complicated for a chap like me.

Got it now though, really good idea!
