I remember someone in another thread explaining how difficult it is to have blue contacts over dark brown eyes (Bloom's normal eye colour). He or she explained how their peripheral vision is severly reduced. In scenes where Bloom is interacting with other actors, they tend to go with a contact that doesn't restrict his vision as much but comes out a less intense blue, but in close-ups they go back to the vision restricting bright blue contacts.<P>I know nothing about coloured contacts, but this explanation seems to fit with the types of shots in which you may notice Legolas' eyes being darker.<P>H.C.
