People Challenge 27 - The EYES

November 4th, 2023
Thank you, Dave @darchibald) for hosting the last challenge. And thank you for all the great photographers who submitted wonderful images of people. Finally, thank you for all the people who voted for my image; I am honored to have won and to host this month's challenge.

Photographing people can be nerve-wracking; some prefer candid and others can engage with their person to get them to pose. I hope everyone will give it a go and tag their people shots over the next few weeks.

The theme I have chosen for People-27 is "eyes". This is NOT a photograph of the eyes only (although it could be if you choose) but instead a face, a portrait, a person whose eyes draw you into the photo. Maybe the eyes are really beautiful, OR they are the adorable eyes of a child, OR an emotional expression on the face, or eyes that tell a story. Maybe they are your own eyes in a self portrait! There are different ways you can interpret this challenge but it is about the eyes or at least without them the photo wouldn't be as interesting. Feel free to be creative or get in very close-in to the face. Either way I'll be watching for your photo!

Just a reminder that with the Thanksgiving for those in the USA many will see family. This would be a great time to watch for those moments to capture people with their expressions. I’ve noticed some great entries already.
