it's in the Eyes

[wendellt]

Just bored on a friday afternoon
what else is there to do but photograph the only female empolyee at work

all shot with the 28-70 f2.8 f4 ISO100 1/250 70mm
with a canon flash(on remote cord sc28) which sems to work on my nikon camera

re-crops near 100%
this one f2.8






i'm really liking eyes at the moment seems like i will be lusting over a 105 macro

Second one is the best.

I like #2, Wendell The composition seems to work better for me than the other two - the eye is being shot more front-on, and is more of a central point of focus than #1 and #2. Looks like you have that flash somewhere over your left shoulder?

Wish I could attack my colleagues here in the office.. I have a brand new shiny Tokina 12-24 that I just received from the Birdy & Poon Delivery Service... but the D70s is at home! lol.

great work.... nice and sharp... wish I could have time to shoot employees at work..... it's risky enough just posting here.... its all about deadlines, deadlines and deadlines.....

[wendellt]

thanks LEigh bud
number two in terms of comp is good

however I like the the colour in the 3rd, green eyes being rare

Des flash at 10 'o' clock mostly and quite close to her hence my high shutterspeed of 1/250

Thanks man I do have deadlines but with st patricks day and the boss at the pub what the else is there to do?

here is the colour version with enhanced colour tweak on the skin
shadow tones cyan bias midtones red and yellow bias

And it works better in colour.

Personally I'd go for #3.

IMO, the others would better if you applied some selective blurring to the nose & cheek a bit. The lens is so sharp that you can see the fur which I find distracting from the subject being the eye.

Those eyes in the last one.... those eyes..... uhm.... where was I???

Agree about softening the skin, but those eyes... those eyes... I think I'm lost...

Very engaging shots wendelt.

Very nice Wendell. 2nd in colour is my fav. The eyes certainly do have it.

Love them Wendell. Although there are billions of photo's of eye's on the net it's always nice to see someone else's take on the subject (and I don't mean to take anything away from you by saying that).

I like the high key effect and the clarity of these - stunning.

These would work well to promote eye health cos these eyes look like they belong to a very healthy person!

Wendell you are lucky to have a willing subject at work, let her know she has beautiful eyes! Lovely composition and treatment!

[rokkstar]

Gorgeous Wendell!

And it works better in colour.

For me, too. Hmm, hazel, my favourite eye colour...

Wendell, did you manage to get her number?

Cheers

I have just come across this thread and for me the second image is a standout. Very powerful and mysterious at the same time.
