Show Your Favorite Eyes - inspired by Yuri

[gpgold]

Having seen some stunning portraits here with eyes that make you catch your breath I thought this could make an interesting thread.

mine: My Grandson Brandon

Gary,


Brandon has beautiful eyes!!
And I like the idea. At the risk of being banished I'd like to say that although Andy is convinced it's all about the food :): , I think it's all about the eyes!

This is an old one from 2003 of my daughter and her best friend at the time -

You did a terrific job in catching the highlights in the friend's eye (LOL).
Thanks for sharing!

[gpgold]

They're certianly MY favorite pair of eyes. :lust



The light was terrible that day, but she was to cold to argue about having her picture taken, which is a rare occurance that I of course, had to seize.
I love the expression that you caught. It's warm in spite of the cold.

Thanks for a very interesting take on the subject. It is interesting how the geometric overlay is so complimentary to the natural curves in the image.

These eyes are my faves too! Too bad they're in Black and white...their blue eyes are really beautiful! I am just realizing how bad the photoshop edit of my son's shirt looks. I was trying to hide Spiderman it just looks better without spiderman..I guess I need practice.

[nOrmalSukx]

i think it's absolutely adorable!

I think we see a lot when we look into these eyes. The only thing I would change is that I would clone out the goop from the black dog's eye. I tried it in PS and it takes away a distraction, IMO.

My only eyes to regularly photograph are my 2 kitties, here's one, she's always been complimented on her gold eyes.

Here is a kitten I am fostering. She's taken to being 'attached' to me at times, and here I think I really caught her expressive eyes, "Separation Anxiety"

I love them all. The one KT did, the baby, that is special and well presented. I don't have any babies here. We are in monsoon. I might work on my dogs: they have kind of long noses, I tend to focus on the nose. Actually, I tend to forget that I have to get "focus".

that might be project for a rainy day. But I would be using the oncamera, 20D flash. My sunpak does not work at all with this camera. I would sell it, but wouldn't get enough to buy another.

No, they hate that. I might work on it somehow: wonder, they are going to show the 5 day forecast.

Old eyes would be good, too. Mine are the only old ones here.

Notwithstanding the blowout it is a very sweet shot. I played with it a little in PS using the clone tool. With a little patience the hat can be enhanced. I don't think it really necessary though.

Taken several weeks ago at a local park. We were hanging out under some trees and noticed we were being lit upon by some of the local residents. This one happened onto the frames of her glasses (probably from her hair).

link to slightly larger version: http://www.speakeasy.org/~markfowler/linked_05302005/IMG_0611_1024.jpg

I'm not overly happy with the composition and wish I had been more deliberate, also, the depth of field isn't very deep and cuts diagonally across her face, leaving her left eye slightly OOF in favor of the 'inchworm', but I'm not necessarily disliking the effect. Her right eye + worm came out well and most important of all, she loved the photo so who am I to complain! :D

Thanks for looking!

This is a handheld eye macro that I took of myself while fooling around at work.

[gpgold]

but, I've always thought my best feature is my eyes. Captured by the GF & PS'd a little.


Very, very striking. Nice treatment.

Having seen some stunning portraits here with eyes that make you catch your breath I thought this could make an interesting thread.

This could be eligible for the most unusual of the posts to the thread award (if there was one). Very interesting treatment.

Gary,
Sorry it took me so long to find your post, I'm not real practiced with these forums thingies. I wish they would create such a contest. Unfortunately, a lot of times when I see listings for contests, they require newly shot photos.

Take Care,
Trish

My girlfriends gorgeous eyes

My girlfriends gorgeous eyes
She does have lovely eyes. I think that the shot is a little off in hue, could be the WB is off due to the lighting.

My daughter's eyes would have to be my favorite... she's always in right in front of the camera... this shot I had it zoomed out as far as I could!

Simply Beautiful!

I want to take this moment to again thank all who have contributed here. I was, as the thread title indicates, inspired by Yuri's wonderful portrait work. You have all made many wonderful and diverse contributions. It is incredible that over 4000 views have been registered to date. I don't think I'll ever come up with another thread that will have so much participation - this is really a thrill.

Thanks & Regards,

Gary

I made my starting post on this thread on 6/15/2005. I have not been visiting here for the last couple of months due to a variety of factors. I was amazed to see that this thread had another round of activity in October 2006. I enjoyed all the recent contributions, the quality is to me - excellent. Thank you all for the wonderful shots. This is a great place to share.

Ok, so this first one is one I took of my bestfriends little girl when she was 6 months old. She's got HUGE blue eyes.

http://marsolekphotos.smugmug.com/photos/96673114-M.jpg

This is of my son last spring (he's now 2). I just love the expression in his eyes. He's such a adventurer.

http://marsolekphotos.smugmug.com/photos/96756247-M.jpg

And I can't believe I can't find the one of my daughter that I love her eyes in. I never realized til now I don't have it on my site. ;0(

Ok found it. lol

Here's my eye a few days after I fell and got a "black" eye. I was trying to open it wide so it's a little strange looking. :)

And this one is again my eye, but photoshopped -

^^That one is a poor res. version of the original edit. It was desaturated with a mask over the irises and then screen filtered. I wish I had the original, but it was lost on my old computer when it died a few years ago. I would try to edit it with curves or contrast, but I'm at work and just searched out the picture which I posted on a different forum a while ago.

A mate of Mine's 3 year old at a wedding we photographed.
I don't like the colouring too much.....but I just love her eyes.
C&C Welcome

[Ghost_Dog]

This is a model that I shoot for her own website. I just love the colour of her eyes and I think it works well with the B&W of the photo.

The eyes have it ...

[jdryan3]

The eyes have it ...

I love the tone of the image. So many b+w images seem flat and muddled shades of grey. Very sharp. That said,I wonder if her eyes aren't just a tad too white. As if in PS they are 255 and they need to be 240-245, maybe less, but only if the overall image isn't altered significantly. Definitely worth hanging on the wall! :bow
