OK, help a Lost non-watcher out: Comingsoon.net has posted a new poster for the upcoming season of the show. Usually, that's kind of a non-story, but given the penchant for J.J. Abrams and company to drop clues in the oddest places, maybe the significance of the story is that they've put some of them in this poster.I asked Keith if he saw anything in the poster that might be considered a clue, but the only thing he could say was, "I guess you could mention that it's pretty clear that Michael is really gone from the Island, as he's not on there." OK. I'll take his word for it.
The ComingSoon story has a larger version of the poster, so take a look and leave a comment if you see anything else (or if you don't...).

There is an image in Jack's right eye. It appears to be the hatch explosion, but I could be wrong.

Henry Gale appears to be a more prominent character in season three.

If you look really closely at Locke's stubble you can see the words "you people have too much time on your hands" ;)
I dont see anything hidden (I don't buy there is an image in Jacks eye. Everyones eyes are light up dramatically)
What I noticed is the styled hair. I guess one of the other background castaways is a hair stylist and got bored. Seriously, look at Sayid, Claire and Simon's hair.

Well, apparently Locke Desmond and Eko are not dead.

Jack seems to have a glow around him. In addition, all of their eyes look a little strange. That could be a style thing though.

Charlie will go to the "other" side.Sawyer,Sayid,Hurley,Desmond,and Sun will begin to question which side they are on.Eko,Claire,Jack,Kate,and Locke will stay on the survivor side. Hurley will probably be the next to turn after Charlie,followed by Sayid,and Desmond.Let the infection begin.

Previous posters have had the cast all together in a group. The "scotch taped photo collage" aspect of this poster (including some space left at the bottom for additions) suggests that any individual cast member is perhaps more easily replaceable than in previous seasons.
Your plotline hits a lull? Pass the scotch tape.

Besides the eyes being unusually bright, which others have mentioned, there are an awful lot of shadows covering a lot of faces... except Sun's face, which isn't turned and is looking straight at us, with no shadow. Jack's face too, but he's not looking straight at us (the viewer, the audience, the others on the island)- he's been startled by us.
Might be an artistic thing, but I think it might have something to say about the focus of the story, or who does/doesn't have something to hide.
Desmond seems tooo bemused... Charlie and Hurley seem too angry... I wonder what else Jin has to hide...

As others have mentioned, the way parts of some of the faces are obscured makes for an interesting psychological effect, which I'm sure is intentional. Jin, Charlie, Eko, and Kate in particular.
It may be of note that Henry is the only male character who is clean-shaven (though we can't see the bottom part of Jin's face).
Whoever put this together clearly put a ton of work into airbrushing the hell out of everybody's irises. It looks cool, but a little distracting.

Any significance to the fact that we can see only one eye of each of Charlie, Locke, Hurley and Eko? We see both eyes of everyone else, but only one eye for those four. I have no idea what that means, but it's one of the first things I noticed.
Also, the only people looking directly at us (i.e. not sideways or out of the corner of their eyes) are Sun, Desmond, Sayid and Sawyer.
That leaves Jack, Kate, Jin, Henry Gale and Claire looking at us askance.
Is there anything that these three groups have in common with each other?

There appears to be a couple other "boxes" underneath Jin and Locke that would suggest there are other characters we haven't met yet. Which we know.
Now that I look at it, also one under Eko. Possibly a piece of one above Sayid.
I'm more interested in the background - especially that arc of light in the upper left corner that cuts behind Sayid, Desmond, Jack and Claire (top to bottom). It looks like maybe the corner of an eye, which would fit the theme. Maybe the Eye of the person/persons watching them, i.e. The Others and/or the Hanso Foundation?
And what's that in the upper left corner of Hurley's photo (who, by the way, looks feral)? It's a roundish white object, almost like a theatrical light (a Leko).

Wait, the poster is missing Shannon, Ana-Lucia and Libby. Oh, wait a second...
On a very trivial note, it is interesting that not-Henry Gale is on the poster, but Miss Klugh and the other Others are not. (Meaning they better not kill off Ms. Klugh, because I'm going to be a shipper for a Eko/Klugh romance!)

Don't see anything unusual EXCEPT for Jack's right eye. That stands out plain as day.

All the other characters seem to revolve around Jack, Kate, and Sawyer who are all in the middle. All 3 of which were taken by the others. Also, if you look closely, it doesn't seem like Henry Gale is actually looking into the camera, as opposed to everyone else on the poster. Maybe its just me.

Personally, I think that the coloration of everyone's eyes has something to tell us. For example Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sawyer, and Locke all have the same eye color. Charlies eyes match Henry Gales, and Eko's matches Jin's and Desmond's. May not be anything, but who knows.

Jin and Sun are pretty far apart. Maybe she tells him that the baby isn't his?

Sorry, I meant to say upper right corner of Hurley's photo, not left.

Maybe it's me, but as opposed to everyone else, it looks like Sun (and maybe Jin, and maybe Locke, but especially Sun) isn't in the jungle. Perhaps The Others/Hanso?
And whoever asked what that thing was behind Hurley, I think it's just sky or something. It looks like the pictures are all taken outside.
