The power in the eyes of a person or animal draws you into a photograph. The stronger the eyes are, the more you will draw attention of the viewer. I do not photograph people that much but do like to emphasis eyes in my non-human subjects. I have done some reading on the subject and have a few ideas on emphasizing the eyes of a subject to create interest and emotion in a picture.
-Focus on the eyes, make sure they are in sharp focus
-Line of sight: use the eyes of a subject to point out something else in the picture or draw your eye outside the frame
-Ask the subject to incline their head so their eyes are on a diagonal
-Catchlights: these are the flickers of light or reflections in the eyes that bring it to life

I am looking forward to your photographs emphasizing eyes. Have fun and as always thanks for participating.

Yep, everything's OK, rather expensive and not covered by health insurance but worth the money. chase

I love your topic. The eyes tell all. I captured this photo of a human eye. It was cropped down from a face photo of my sister.

But, there are the little eyes of a creature whose brain isn't as complex as a human, yet calculating in taking his prey.


Pg 2 - Great images, Jim!
