The many eyes of Wilma

Here are the pictures to get an idea. Don't worry I got permission. If you didn't like any of the eyes don't vote. Don't go straight to the Pin-Hole Eye vote, look at the pictures and then get an idea.

My favorite was the large circular eye. However the best had to be the eye with the "2" inside.

I've got to vote for that pinhole eye because its truely stunning though all of Wilma's eyes were pretty cool.

It really was the case that Wilma had split personality.

To me it was definitely the pin-hole eye. I'd never in my life seen a such a vast storm, with such an incredibly tight 2-mile wide eye--just amazing IMHO

The 2 mile wide eye because you just dont think of an eye being that small, and the convection around it
