Besides making pictures I make lots of things out of fabric...this is one of those things...and the thing I made it with...

...whew...

A quick note about the "softness" and "blur"...the quilt was moving through the sewing machine, I thought the quilt merely just sitting there looked rather static and a bit dull...I still don't understand some people's need for constant crispiness and 35mm proportions...please start moving beyond the technical, and never...NEVER assume the photographer doesn't know what they are doing, it's all about choices, the more you know, the more you can make...I'm begging you...step away from your comfort zones...or should I say "technical" zones.

A valiant plea for photographer choice, fat lot of good it did. :) The eyes lend a cool surreality to this.

I didn't score or enter this challenge, but this is a terrific composition. The repeating eyes becoming the results of what they are watching is a great idea.

Soft focus in foreground is a little distracting. Maybe cropping more off would have helped. Good job though.

Could have lost the about 1/3 off the bottom, I think.

foreground is too blurred, use a higher shutter speed
