Viewers are encouraged to respond to this thread describing why you like a particular image, or think it was particularly successful at meeting the guidelines of the assignment.
Thank you to everyone that participated in the "Eyes" assignment. It is often said that "eyes are the window to the soul." Being able to capture an image of "the essential soul peeking out" is a skill that will raise your portraiture from average to extraordinary. Hopefully this assignment helped you strengthen your portraiture skills.
