This is a pretty good close up, and maybe I don't see the personal meaning of "something old" in the picture, but to me, the eye seems like a young eye. It doesn't seem old at all. Young and full of vibrance. But it IS a good shot.
In the thumbnail view I thought "Wow! Beautiful photo!". But now in close up I think it's just a little bit too blurry (but still a beautiful eye). I like the blur for how it softens the eyelashes, I just think it's a tiny bit too much. I must admit I don't really understand the theme and title. The eye looks so young and not really belonging to a wise old guru or something ;-) -stephan
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - good. what is the reflection? Technical Aspects - looks a little out of focus Meets Challenge - probably. A wrinkle would have helped. Visual Impact / Originality - good
Turns out eyes are very hard to photograph up close with an AF camera. Good idea, but the lack of focus is too distracting. Try using the manual focus features of your camera, and make sure the camera's macro capability is up to the task.
This may be a case of shooting the photo and then cropping one part out and blowing it up. Or maybe you were just too close for your camera to focus well. I'm not sure what type of camera you're using so I'm not sure what to say.
Interesting take on the challenge... these eyes look great-- but not at all old! I love the slight reflection in the eye, and the overall contrast. A great photo... but would've done better in a different challenge.
The focus seems out, giving the whole picture a washed out feel. I think it would have worked better in crisp focus. I also think the theme doesn't meet the challenge… Sorry to be so negative…
This photo does not meet the challenge "in my eyes". The eye in the photo does not appear "old", and, sorry, but I do not see "old" in the reflections in the eye either. I do like the b&w, and the lighting for the shot. lhall
This photo is a bit bewildering... I'm sure there's something I should be seeing, but I'm not. The eye doesn't look very old, and there's only one of them, and I can't make out anything in the reflection... so what does it have to do with age or wisdom? It's very nice black and white though, and I love the soft focus.
I'm having a hard time seeing the link to this week's challenge. Maybe this would have worked better if the image was sharper and the subject would have been older (wrinkles, etc.), thus showing wisdom with age.
the highlights within the eye are interesting, but i can't see any connection to "something old." also, the photo is quite blurry and the title doesn't lead me to any conclusions about your intent. ~mcmurma Aesthetics...3 Meets Challenge...3 Overall...3
I'm not sure how this photo says 'old' to me... the lack of focus doesn't help out much... maybe backing up a little bit with your camera and then cropping the eye into an image of it's own would allow you to get better focus. If this soft focus was your intention, I'm not sure how it adds to the image... - jmsetzler
