Connor has a blue eye and a brown eye, he is one of the top obedience trialling Shelties in Australia recieving top scores for his enthusiasm to work. I took the shot last week when talking to his owner Sandy a friend. I changed the image to black and white using a Griadient Map. Then used a Layer mask selecting Connor's blue eye from the original layer. ~Pat and Graham
