[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
* Competence, like truth, beauty and contact lenses, is in the eye of the beholder.
Laurence J. Peter (1919 - 1988), The Peter Principle (1969), chapter 1

* Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.
Miss Piggy

* A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.
Ken Keyes Jr., Handbook of Higher Consciousness

* The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes without speaking confess the secrets of the heart.

* You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

* I shut my eyes in order to see.

Hi Alp,
great note about the eye. Probably the most important organ for photography, if it isn't the most important. I like the composition and what you have done with the range of colors.
TFS,
Niek

Terrific pp work, it is a work of art should be hung on a wall. Marvellous.

Peter

Hi, Alp!
This eye is rooted deeply in the old Turkish tradition of Nazarliklar - blue eyes that defend from evil. I like your interpretation very much.
Anton
