The title: EYE can SEE. Look closely and you too will see.

My wife crocheted this. The colors are really that bright and it's hanging in a craft store on display.

If you didn't SEE, search for the windows to the soul and you shall find:D.

Just for fun,
Chris

    Hi Fred,
    I had left the red eye in there to kinda match the colors in the garment. Some people have a hard time finding the eyes, they are not really expected to be there.

    Thanks for the comment,

    I thought it was one of those "unfocus your eyes" thing, my eyes hurt from staring for like 3 minutes.

    It's really nice btw!

    Some people are like slinkies... not really good for anything, but it's still fun to watch them tumble down the stairs.:rofl

    Sorry for the sore eyes11doh.gif. I was originally shooting this just for fun and came across this idea. The colors are actually that bright, almost a metallic material. Glad your eyeballs didn't fall out:D.

    Thanks for looking,
    Chris

    I'm curious, in what way do you find this unsettling. This is the first time I've had this comment with this photo (I've had it with many others though) and interested in what you see here.

    This is a good picture and a great idea. I think the redeye effect works very well.

    I can't speak for lpswimmer003 but I personally think it is unsettling because of the distended floating eyeball effect you've got going on there. It's just kind of creepy to me.
    Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance.

    Thanks for the clarification Mike and Aly,
    Hope you don't mind me saying, but creepy and unsettling are compliments for me. A photo should, as a minimum, touch an emotion; whether it's happy, sad, curious, awe or whatever. I don't seem to get too many happy photos and I'm not sure whyne_nau.gif. Just my style, or lack thereofrolleyes1.gif.

    I hadn't intended creepy or unsettling with this photo though. It was more of a color and pattern shot with a slight twist. Most people glance over the shot and never see the eyes so that's why I titled it that way. Kinda a hide-n-seek shot.

    Thanks again for your comments,
    Chris

    It turned out more than I was originally going for. I'm curious what this shot would look like printed on the MPix metallic paper.

    Glad you liked it and thanks for the comment,
