I have seen this image before in the Fire III Challenge, and it is one of those captures that I wish I could master. Well done. Cheers, Sandra.

Eye On The Job

A unique entry. Not many have thought about entering an image of an insect into this challenge. As much as I see the eyes, my first focus was on the wings and the legs of the butterly. Some creative cropping might have changed my perspective on this. Regardless, overall this is an outstanding capture.

Superb macro shot, but not esthetically pleasing (to me). Excellent detail and crispness in this shot.

The Apple of Grandma's Eye

It wasn't until I saw this in a second glance that I realized the reflection in the eye. Because of the eyelashes covering the reflection, I am going to assume this is not altered. Therefore, I must say this is a superb capture and a very fittingly titled.

I don't know weather to like this or hate this - it is both odd and interesting at the same time. Cudos for capturing something something very unique and uncomparible in this challenge.

An interesting capture. I get the impression that she's about to "spill the beans" on some really juicy gossip. This is one of the better submissions as far as interest in the eyes. It may have had more impact if you cropped this image down to just the face, removing both the top and bottom 1/3's of this shot in equal proportions - just my impression. A very good capture overall regardless.
