A picture of my mum, while we were stuck in traffic. The traffic of Bangkok is shown through her eyes.

She still can't believe she's got that many wrinkles.

the shot is not very eye catching, no pun intended ;)

anyway, first things first. when trying to shoot a picture espically with a P&S always avoid shooting directly in light the light source is very distracting..i suggest moving your subject over to completly cover up the light source so it creates what I love as a rim of light over the edge. its a beautiful effect!

now onto the main subject.
the entire image is very soft, that means its not sharp like it needs to but since it is a p&s, not much you had to work with..although i love your idea in this picture it lacks the reflection needed to earn you a higher spot in this category. like i said, the lighting would have also helped out dramatically.

your title is very creative, perhaps you should help me name my pictures for future contests!

i can't quite make out what's reflected in her eye...just the two red spots. what is it?

The idea is excellent, I must say. Should it have been me behind the camera I would have positioned the model differently though... Say slightly more to the left and maybe looking upwards reflecting a tall building in the city or some bird, tree of flower with a contrasting colour to the eyes if taken in the countryside because one cannot really admire the colour of her eyes. But anyways that's me... Good job ;-)

not enough reflection, which is too bad, because it looks interesting. Is that a car I see?

Interesting picture, I like the concept. The reflection is a bit difficult to see, maybe move to catch more of the eye. That will eliminate the blown sky in the background too.

A good concept, but for me the reflection is so small it's hard to discern - except the two red lights.

looks more like the like the reflection of taillights. Not enuf wrinkles to be called ageing. Your model blinked.

Good title, really wanted to see it, but just didn't find it in your image.

Would have liked to see more of the eye reflection.

Nice idea, but better if not not centered. ("Bullseye!")
