Delightful, Sam! You and your daughter did really well! I like the quote a lot too! ~Sharon

Good story, allthough a leading question ;) And good thing you explained it.. I had "discarded" this as PP LOL. Nice shot! K2

Yes, this is a single shot. When my 9 years old daughter and I read Traveller's challenge concept, I asked her "how do yo see art?" She, as a matter of factly, responded "with my eyes!" Therefore, we made a banner of "ART" and photographed her eye looking at it. Sam Attal

Oh..! I thought it was a composite.. is this actually a single shot? -K2

Clever title and composition and well photographed. ~ Regards Melbob

Forgot to comment on this earlier; sorry! I think I prefer this second version, though I did like it before too. Wonderful idea anyway, and well executed! — db.

Okay, I know that Kiki requested this...and K2 is...well, we don't exactly know at all what Kiki is yet...but she is amazing...and yet, honest people can honestly disagree...I still prefer the first version. K2 likes more striking, I like more distant and subtle. But then I almost always prefer more information than less...this is my weirdness. Best Wishes, Traveller

Much better, IMO. That move kind of opened her eye.. now she (?) looks less drowsy and more like absorbing the message. All that skin pushed the message away.. now it's as striking as it should be. -K2

Kiki, I cropped the image as you suggested. Hope you like this version. Artist

Thanks, Cj, but no, not me. I like this quite a lot, beautifully done! ~Sharon

Its not mine... :( But this is very fine work indeed! The eye resembles Jano's daughter's... but I could be wrong. Havent seen an entry in here from her in a while. -Cat

Cat? This you? Best Wishes, T

Nope, not me - I would have cropped this rather dramatically btw - not more skin above the eye than under. I find the eyebrow quite distracting. -kiki2

Wow! Smart and on topic and cuts to the chase...I say Kiki again, though it could be Nico's wife who seems a very good sport about posing. Best Wishes, Traveller

Interesting and well done! Sharon perhaps? :-) CJ
