My vote went to Dave, thought that the eyes were stunning and beautifully captured.
Up Blair Eyes
Thought that this would of polled more votes than it did, thought that the lighting was good and TBH cannot fault the picture.
Down, Reflected Eyes
Liked the colour pop on the subject which gave emphasism to the reflected eyes. Nice pic.

Thought that there were some good entries this week "Through the Eye" and "Eye" were 2 other favorites.

Congratulations Dave, a superb shot!

UP: Eye Drop
a nice clean picture, fun quirk

DOWN: Dog Eyes
Not bad, only point that distracts me a bit is the green reflection of the light (flasch?).

I also liked Through the Eye, but Mysterious Eyes was the best entrie in my eyes.

Thank you for the kind remarks.

Congratulations to Mysterious eyes, makes me think Turkish delight.

up: Dog Eyes
I agree with the comment about the eyes, perhaps a softer focus to draw you in more to the eyes could be worth a try, however the rest I do feel is good it perfectly captures the character and contentment of the dog.

Down: Halloween Eyes
I am glad that you changed the image to the full face it has a better impact. The picture is saying to me WOW look at me, WOW look at the Halloween party around me. I can not see a better way of presenting this image.

Thanks to Jeff for my feedback. Here's hoping i have done this right and looking forward to a good show of pictures this coming weekend.

PS: I voted for reflected Eyes, reason is this is one of my favourite styles, I am always looking for new ways to capture a reflected or shadow image and this has opened my Eyes to another option to try.

Thanksthe Turkish Delight commercial in the 70's was my inspiration hence the retro processing!

congrats dave - great shot

UP: all hallows eyes. i like closeups a lot, so nearly voted for this. the colour is so intense on the eye and the focus is spot on IMO. good job.

DOWN: eye. love the shallow DOF and the black and white treatment works well. nothing wrong with it - surprised it didn't get more votes really.

bring on this weekend! thanks for my votes...

Sorry, almost forgot my ups, downs etc...

Thanks to Jediboy, JonnyM, and plodsie for my votes, appreciate them.

Ups - Eye - A nice capture here which i feel may have been more balanced with no mouth on show but all of the nose.

Down - Dinosaur - A tighter crop would have worked better for me, and all B&W, no colour pop.

Mine - tried something different, I really liked my shot and was pleased with the sharp, crispness of it.

Nice to see you back voting Cutter (Mark), hope you are well. Not seen you here for a while.

DD, I agree with you. I didn't love my own photo. I had a nice one of my boy's blue eye. But the kids voted for dad's eye. Posted that one for them

sabrina - that's a lovely shot of your boy's eye...well done.
