Polar-eyes-ed

Light from a polarised source (eg, laptop screen) will be blocked by a polarising filter, but if it passes through plastic on its way then stresses in the plastic will cause the light to de-polarise, with coloured bands showing areas of equal stress. Or something. The eyes are from a picture I put up on the laptop screen.

Pentax K-x - 1/15 sec - f/? - ISO 200 - ~105mm

Lit as described above.

Used GIMP to crop, adjust levels and scale for web.
