The White of Her Wild Eye

"woah! oh my gosh!"--initial comment upon download.
the image is hard at first for me to comprehend because i have to scroll up and down to see the whole thing, and the closeness of the shot takes a moment to register what i'm looking at...but,
powerful image...it really conveys that wildness. i wish i could see the eye straight on, looking into the camera so that the viewer really gets hit with that wild eye. or a side shot including more of the horse's head to add context. very nice dof. very creative idea for an image. the skin has a bit of light bouncing off of it, which detracts just a bit from the eye, but the black lids direct you back to it. powerful.

wow! i love this. this makes me think of how hard it is to give something up, how horrible it feels, yet how much pride there is in every milestone...the first five minutes, the first five days...i fear that many voters will not view this as an artistic shot, but i do, and i wish you luck. 8

congrats on the high finish, especially with so many entries!
the curves and gloss in this abstract are very appealing to me. nice choice of green for the background as well...it doesn't feel like a holiday color combo, just nice complimentary colors. congrats again!

faces are more interesting than backs. i would be interested to see this shot taken from the opposite angle, so the viewer could concentrate on the faces instead of the busy background.

the shadow stripes make this image difficult to focus on. (shadow stripes = prison bars?) : )
nice colors, but the shadows dilute them...
