Those are fantastic! I am gonna have to work on a collection myself. They would look great framed in a collage in a hallway!

I love them all and especially the last one but wish it did not just scream "Muslim"....that thought was a little distracting when the overall concept of hiding everything but the eyes was the point of the photo.

Actually it is a lioness, elephant, bengal tiger and my granddaughter...as far as the photo screaming muslim...I didn't even think of that...she just has beautiful eyes and I wanted to focus on them alone for this shot. Thanks you for your kind comments everyone.

Yes Leona the eyes tell it all, man or beast. When I was doing my art work that is always where I would start and I'm finding it just as important in photography.

Beautiful set Leona, the elephant and your grand daughter are wonderful. The one with your grand daughter reminds me of a famous Nat Geo cover with a similar theme
