Very 'neat' captures already!

There's nothing like capturing the reflections of one's soul in the depths of one's eyes; almost a worthy study for a 'thesis' for photography. Eyes just take a different turn from being the organs to see the outerworld, to being the organs/vessels for viewing the spirit and personality of one's inner world. They are like endless streams flowing towards the inside ...

Great start...

Thanks for sharing,

Yildiz

Lovely eye shots here already - I especially like Henry's picture.

Here is the 'eye of the tiger' 8)

One of the West Midlands Safari Park White Tigers. I thought their blue eyes were very striking. Not completely happy with the quality here, but I was having to resist winding down the window of the car!

I always thought that the blue eyes of white tigers were fascinating; there's something icy but vigorous in such eyes in animals.

Thanks for sharing, Birma. :)

Hi Frank, :)

This little guy is somewhat unnerving with that stare!

Okay, I have to add this one, even though my sister took it. She just got the 850, and this was shot #4 (I actually took the first 2 with it!)

My little Lilly and me at the pancake Breakfast Saturday.

I was playing with my sister's new 850 and Friendly was wondering who the cat was he was seeing on the car's bumper!

Three rather scary close encounters Frank! Lovely lighting and colour quality, not to mention excellent distribution of sharpness.
