 I had lot's of ideas for this chalange. All where equally interesting. I went out to shoot all of them, big preparations where made. When I came back home and downloaded the images from the camera it came out that most of them where of such poor quality ( had to use iso 400 ) that, they where unacceptable and although the photos them selves, in my opinion, where nice I couldn't use them in anyway. Some of them were shot at iso 200 and luckily they where of usable quality.

This eye is ... my eye :)
Although I am submiting this pic today, tommorow I'll go and finish all my Ideas :)

Good luck to you all :)

Wow thanks graphicfunk :)

I am not worried about the scores ( didn't come here to receive points ) :) I'am interested in how do people respond to my work :). You can learn many things in here.

Besides, dp challange works as a motivation factor for me.

This is a very well done macro. You certainly have talent and do not worry much about the score for now. Keep bringing these nice images and everything will take care of itself.

Thanks to all for the comments and votes.

I like this shot very much and I'm proud of it. I thought that I was going to break the 6.0 score with this shot and score higher but well :) maybe next time.

GoldBerry this saying is reffering to the fact that only a handfull of photographs is really good from out of them all. Let's say it's a humble saying :) But to tell the truth a very real one.
I wouldn't say that a photographer is all-seeing.

Cheers :)

Stunning blue eyes and beautiful lashes. with a beautiful reflection in the eyes. A different angle from other "eye" portraits.
Exposure is spot on.

Beautiful.

There are several eye shots but this one really stands out. The blue is beautiful. Bet this one will be right up there on the top.

I thought photography is about seeing everything, even things most people wouldn't? lol anyway....it's an alright picture but I'm not sure if it has poor focus or just lost quality in resizing. The area under the eye closest to the camera looks swollen and the actual eye isn't in focus. A new DOF position would help out.

I really like the reflection in the eye! Awesome!
 11/10/2004 09:53:24 AM
I tried something similar but in black and white but this is a better shot than mine, hope you do well.

this has got to be the best eye shot of the bunch. Good one.
