I find this to be a little creepy because the face looks so pasty. It is an interesting idea but it needs a lot of help in the execution. The straight on look is just too ordinary. Some interesting angle and more dramatic lighting would be much more effective.

very intence and cold. Could be used in one of those "every 30 seconds a women is....by her....." type posters.

Crop face to concentrate on the eyes

Very hypnotic!

I think there could have been a better facial expression.

Beautiful blue eyes but the face has a greenish blotchy tint. very sharp focus.

should have given eye drops before taking the shot to get rid of the small red veins. I would have had better impact that way

The very best of the "blue eyes" photos. Good DOF and a very strong focal point. Well Done. BAMartin

generally, a good idea, if very common this challenge. i would have a liked a different pose (more blue looking, i guess) and the yellow in the skin is really distracting.

Pretty eyes, but her skin looks so pale... on purpose I hope.

the expression on the face is distracting from the picture. it looks like there wasn't much thought put into the picture other than trying to make the eyes blue and the rest grayscale.

Nice pic. You should try desaturating all colours except for blue and cyan (Maybe that's what you did, I dunno). I like it. Jacko 7

The blue tint everywhere kinda ruins this picture. Nothing you could do however.

Good lighting, good focus. I think the shot would have been better if the face was positioned slightly off center. It looks a bit stark to me and too much "in your face". I think the shot could have been made more subtle without losing the intensity. Also, having the bottom of the chin and top of the forehead cut out gives an unusual look here. Perhaps changing the position to vertical instead of horizonatal would have improved this.

Scary!

I like how sharp the eyes are in this photo!
12/02/2002 12:53:00 AM
WOW, those are some very bright blue eyes! Not sure how you got them to stick out so much, and downplay everything else?! Nice job though... Good luck with it... PS are those blue contacts?

I like how the beautiful blue eyes stand out, however, her face has a strange and unnatural color/tint.
