Up close, it was impossible to ignore. The brilliant yellow surrounding the dark pupil immediately commanded attention, creating a focal point that seemed to stare directly back through the lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAs I moved closer, a whole new world of texture revealed itself.
