Monday Photo Shoot: Red Eye

John Scalzi at By the Way has the assignment:
Your Monday Photo Shoot: Show off a recent picture that is chock full of red eye. Because there's nothing more amusing than light reflecting off of retinas (Should that be retinae, John? Just wondering.), making folks and animals look like demon spawn.

Okay, I blew the Photo Shoot. Technically, it's not Monday anymore. The photo is not that recent. And it's not chock full of red eye -- just a little glow. The effect is better if you click on the photo and get the full size.
This is my grandson at his third birthday party, over two years ago. The excitement got to be a bit much and he crashed out in the floor. This is not a trick of light reflecting off retinas (retinae?), his eyes are really turning that color. The transformation is almost complete. In mere seconds Birthday Boy will become Cranky Kid, a true demon spawn.
