this does not seem to fit in the challenge subject

Really nice object there, I just feel the real textures could've been brought out a little better and clearer, maybe some burning and dodging? But love the shadows in the background!

not very inventive photo, I guess you weren't inspired also since you haven't found a title for your photo

I wanted to thank everyone who commented, they were much appreciated, well most of them. I wanted to respond to one in particular though.

Originally posted by Yo_Spiff: Is there no end to the rampant plagiarism in this place? (I guess "Eye to the soul" was getting a little old...)

First off, considering this was an open date challenge and the photo I used was taken in 2007 and I see yours was taken in 2008... and this is the title I've used since it's been in my portfolio, again since 2007, I'm not exactly sure how I plagiarized you, especially since until you pointed out this link, I've never seen the photo in question.

But going even further, I wondered just how many other "Eye See You" titles are on the site, so I did a little search...

Here we have one from 2002 //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=8101
here's another from 2002 complete with the exclamation mark (like you used) //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=8101
Oh, what's this? Another from 2003, again complete with the exclamation mark //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=28672

In all, there were 70 results returned, many using the same name...

So, I guess that makes you a plagiarist, too, right?

Cute Norman Rockwell-style depiction.

This looks like someone I know (though it's not). The blue of the eye is a bit artificial but it is striking and fits with the general heavily-processed look. More processing than I would use personally but it is well done.

Great kid portrait, great editing, his eye looks fantastic and I love the dirty face.

I am very familiar with this look. Must just be in kids genes.

Cool shot - I like the processing. The eye may be a tad too blue, but still a very strong image. 7
