“An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.” ― Martin Buber
“The face is a picture of the mind with the eyes as its interpreter.” ― Marcus Tullius Cicero
Tina, our Challenge host for this week, reminds us that in photography, the most successful portraits focus on the eyes. She shares stunning examples HERE and invites us to post our favorite eye-catching photos. There is an intimacy in photographing the eyes of a living being that tells a story – a story not only of the subject’s mindset, but also of the relationship between subject and photographer. That is why it is so satisfying to have recorded images of these special beings who have captivated me with their expressions and allowed me to gaze at their souls. I am grateful to have known them all!
Your love for your subject, and their for you, shines through in the one Priscilla. Beautifully shown
Thanks, Tina. 🙂
Love how the size of the pupils change in the three cat photos. Human eyes show many emotions.
So much variety and expression! Must take more pictures… 😊
Awesome eyes Pricilla! You nailed it. I have to say that my favorite was the turtle! But they were all great–both human and animal.
I had to add Boxy. Her eye color actually tells her gender. She is an Ornate Box Turtle. 😊
😊
Your portraits are certainly very well done 🙂
Thank you!
You went from cute to joy to silky to serious to a great post all around
Thanks! 🙂
