i don't know stephanie, eye is an image that is used a lot, and i would think twice before using it. i think it takes away from your wonderful images. i would try to find another way to reflect your concept.
i agree with hale. when i see it, i lose that beauty that we saw with just the original images. even though that kind of supports your concept, i dont think that this is the best way to go because an eye is too literal/direct of a symbol of "perception". i'm not really sure where to take it now though...
I don't mean to be harsh, but I kind of agree with Hale a little on the eye issue. It is a simpler answer to the "perception" question. I mean, I like how you have different eyes, which serve to make the idea more universal, but I feel like there at least needs to be more than just eyes at least. I think human anatomy is a perfectly good way of conveying this idea, I just wouldn't suggest sticking with eyes alone. On that thought, I'd also avoid "the 5 senses" as far as human anatomy because that's also a simple answer. Compositionally, too, it seems like it would become too patterned/consistent compositionally and have no focal points. There is a real strength in the original photos you took, their visuals convey the idea pretty well and I think should be the main focus in your image, unless you think of something else that's quite as impressive. If you do continue with human parts, I do like the black and white touch, for sure, though.
it may help to make the transitions from black and white to color not be so sudden. perhaps fade very subtly. good idea overall

i agree with everyone actually. im going to display just the original images as if they were in a film strip, thanks for the honesty guys.
