 Original photo covered the upper half of my girlfriends body. It costed me quite some time to get the eye in the right sharpness, as well as the eyebrows.

I would like to thank you all for placing your comments, all of them were interesting and encouraging to keep on taking photographs! Afterwards I also thought that the picture would have been more exciting if I wouldn't be visible in the girl's eye.

Very unusual, not sure what it conveys.

Can't believe you got this close - like the reflections in the eye.

If her eye reflect the lingerie and not the photographer I would give it a 9.
It will be a 7 now

Caption is lousy

The glare of the camera in the eye, I feel, ruins the moment here. The photo would be great, without the glare, I know it is hard but a slight angle can remove this from the picture.

The cality almost stepts out of the photo. It's an interesting concept but maby too in the shadow.

I'm not really worried here about the challenge or the title. I do like this macro, though. There's nice clarity of the photographer in the pupil.

i can see your entire reflection in this shot, it lowered my vote substantually. it's not in focus and you should have had another source of light. the composition was somewhat interesting.

I understand what you were going for especially with the title...I don't thnk it was achieved with this shot though...the reflection of the camera is very distracting

Very difficult acheivement!

I love the concept, and very well executed. I dont know it the reflection of you taking the shot works though. Still, very creative idea. 8

this shot doesn't show enough facial expression to evoke that there is an off screen expectation.

I was hoping someone would try this - nice job. :) - 7

Sorry, apart from the titillating title I dont really have any "off screen expectation" from the photo alone.

I like what you did here. A bit of reach on the challenge though
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2004 02:11:27 PM
One big problem: I can see the camera reflected in the eye
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The reflection of you and your camera in the eye go against the title.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/10/2004 08:20:16 AM
wish I didn't see the camera reflection in the shot

What does this eye have to do with lingerie? It looks more like the person in the reflection is actually about to shoot the person with eye with some sort of a gun. I know its a camera but the angle and lack of details looks like it could be a shot gun up close and personal.

Hmmm. The title tells me you have a great idea. The composition is lacking to me... maybe with a little more of the face we could have gotten a more mischeivous feel for the subject..to convey more of an expectation to the viewer.

You might have included the reflection of the photographer on purpose, but I feel that it really detracts from an otherwise nice shot.
The title doesn't really apply here, in my opinion.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good idea, but as someone told me ... you can't realy on the title. I can see the camera in her eye .. which is great photography, but it takes away from the seductive message you are trying to convey.
