Eye Lashes

Love it! So many of the "eye" pictures are out of focus. This one is perfect. And I love the angles .. created by the forhead, the eyelid, the lashes. Well done. Good luck in the challenge!

There are lots of eye pictures. What sets this one apart is the sharpness in the details. Congratulations and good luck!

Whoa... National Geographic here you come! Awesome picture, this one is going straight to the top of my list! I haven't seen the rest of the pictures yet, but if this doesn't get the blue, it's sure to be near the top!

Long red curly hair and a bright smile

It seems the strands of hair up to teh right are more in focus than her eyes and mouth. Perhaps a little more depth of field or a little better focus would have helped.

Perhaps a bit dark and out of focus... I'd like to see the hands a little better to understand just what is so interesting about this person's hands.

I'm cute...and I know it!

It could be an optical illusion stemming from the tracks, but I think there may be a slight clockwise rotation here... turn it back just a little and it would remove the distraction. Other than that, I love the autumn colors and the depth of field. The kid is cute too. Good luck in the challenge!

Why upside down, just to be different? I turned it over and looked at it right side up and find it much less objectionable that way... Anyway, I would have voted higher if it were right side up.

The Eyes: Je ne sais quoi

I really like this idea... I just would expect that the shot, being so close, would be sharper... the eyes, the eye lashes, the eyebrows. With sharper features I would have voted it much higher.

Suggestions for improvement: Move the model forward (away from the wall) to get rid of the background shadow. With a shallow depth of field the move might also lessen the background distractions on the right. Use more ambient light ... or less front-on flash. On camera flash tends to "flatten" the face and, in this case, over expose a bit. Ambient light might have given more of a three dimensional look. On off-camera flash to the side would accomplish the same thing.
