Lily, a child who was playing when I went out to shoot sometime in March. Natural light, in the open.
No neatimage, her skin was really that smooth :).
I haven't submitted a picture in a long time, and wanted to share this. I really like this picture very much, and I hope you like it too!

It's amazing how much more powerful this shot is when you obscure the nose and mouth. I would have done that, since the crop is awkward here. Great eyes with such depth.
Beautiful eyes, great title, I think it might be too tighly cropped at the bottom. How did the photo look if you left her lips whole? Still a great photo though!
An absolutely priceless shot. Perfect crop, outstanding job converting to BW. There is a timeless look of innocence in her eyes. Regardless of the position finish, this photo is forever.
Super sharp, beautiful focus on the eyes! Not sure about the crop...I might have given it a little more room on the bottom. Very lovely tone to the image!
The eyes are great, but the crop seems too close for me. Just a little more of the mouth/lips would have been more appealing. I think it would have balanced better with the fact you included all of the eyebrow on the upper right. Other than that, good job.
There is no question thst the eyes are stunning. The image is very aptly titled. Beyond the eyes, the tonal range is very nice, but I don't care for the slight yellow/green hue in the browns. Also the crop is a touch awkward for my taste, particularly the way the lip is clipped. But, it is worth repeating: the eyes are GORGEOUS.
