Kids took me to the safari park for Father's Day. I couldn't help but grab a few shots out the drivers window.

Here's one from the same shoot (different daughter) where I did leave the eyes colored, except on this example I didn't amp up the contrast.

The Eyes by B_R_T, on Flickr
I agree Mark, it's a little hot on the right side, but I guess I shouldn't expect much different as it was shot with high key in mind and a goal of sort of fading out the right side of her face into the background. Instead, I looked at it and then added the contrast back in post.
bgood, I love the first daughter shot. Perhaps dial down the saturation on the second one's eyes? The sudden saturation coupled with the enormous pupil doesn't work to my eye.
There was a writeup a while back on how to do a quick and dirty version of this in Lightroom. I'd link to it, but I can't seem to find it. (Maybe someone can help me find it.) The PP on this one took me like 90 seconds. Not nearly as good as bgood's images, but it was quick!

This is my Portrait Entry.
It's a Bluejay and somewhat ordinary but what struck me about this frame is that I saw a ghostly face in the trees immediately when I saw the image on the back of my camera. Does anyone else see the weird face in the background? It gave me the creeps!
