I think I agree RE the color grading in the video vs. the photo, but they are pretty close. I think the skin color around the eye is maybe a little cooler in the video. But honestly I am not sure if it is really the color differences that make me prefer the video or if it is all the minute changes that happen in the eye as the iris focuses which are visible in the macro video and of course not revealed in a still frame. Fun little project!

Haha yes, that certainly adds a touch to it, right? It's crazy to see how the iris reacts to light, and how fast it responds when focused on/looking at something. Even though I could swear @lackofcolor was only looking directly in the lens.
Interesting that you mention it, I thought the photograph was a little bit too warm (or too much magenta), whereas the video was more realistic to the skin tone of @lackofcolor. One big difference is that the video was shot outside and the photograph was shot inside (tethering :D).
