I entered this photo in i Heart Faces Beautiful Eyes Photo Challenge
Maybe I’ll have better luck with this photo and judging than I did here. Judging can be harsh!
I’m entry #690. The exact number is switching a bit due to other entrants dropping out or being disqualified.
Not sure I hold out too much hope of winning anything but it’s fun to try and play along.
And if you have photography questions, editing questions, camera questions, see my Photography Section for more.
From my last post, Free Samples, it was fun hearing what you’ve sampled lately and many of you said that you think free samples taste better in the store than when you get them home, too. Glad I’m not alone.
Questions:
1. Who do you know with beautiful eyes?
Of course every mother is say her child’s eyes are beautiful and I am no exception. I love Skylar’s eyes!
2. Do you think your eyes are beautiful? What color are they?
One feature I get complimented on are my eyes. But I have no idea what color they are!
Some days they are blue, other days green.
Other days blue-green.
And other days more green-blue.
I actually don’t know what I currently have listed on my driver’s license. Blue or green. They’re that fickle.
They are never the same color twice! When I am out in the sun, they seem to get more vibrant and also they fade. Sometimes I think it’s just my skin looking darker than makes my eyes look lighter. However, I think my eyes actually “bleach out” a bit in the sun. No lectures on cataracts and sun damage please. Just musing and pondering and sharing out loud here.
They are also prone to getting red and bloodshot, in general. A trait from my dad who has notoriously bloodshot-prone eyes.
Sometimes when I look at Skylar it’s like looking at my father. Same eyes, same expression in her eyes. The 4 year old female version of him. It’s amazing how powerful genetics are!
See this post for other pictures of Skylar’s braids and eyes and her eye color is pretty fickle and ever-changing, too.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming on the next post. It’s a recipe you won’t want to miss. At all. Hint: It may involve something kind of like this. Kind of.
She is so gorgeous! Winner for sure!
What a fabulous picture!! She def has amazing eyes. My eyes are blue and i do think theyre pretty!! Not sure color Kaylin’s will be yet!
Skylar’s eyes are beautiful! What a gorgeous photo. Everyone tells me I have nice eyes, but like you they’re chameleons! They’re more green than blue, but when I was little they were ONLY blue. I always felt left out because my mom and siblings all have dark brown eyes and hair, and I had lighter hair with green eyes. now I like being different!
I swear all kids have the best eyes! So it’s no wonder all parents think their kids’ eyes are beautiful :)
I like my eyes, they are hazel. Shifting between brown and green and they actually remind me of the stone Tiger’s Eye. Although, this got me thinking. I must be a terrible wife! Because I am trying to think of what color my husband’s eyes are….and I have no idea! ha! I’ll have to ask him, because now it’s driving me crazy!
Gorgeous pic of Skylar!!!!! She really does have beautiful eyes!!!
I have hazel….kinda more green. I used to always get complimented on my eyes when younger as my eyelashes were super thick and shiny!!
xxoo
I have the same eye’s as you do. I say they’re green, hubby says they’re blue. Some days they are a crazy combo of both. I am blonde but when I get crazy and dye my hair darker my eyes actually change to grey (super crazy). My oldest son actually has gold eyes, it is the most amazing color I have ever seen. My husband (not my childrens father) has the bluest eyes they are almost see through!!!
Her eyes are so beautiful! Good luck in the contest :) My entire family has blue eyes, but all is various shades.
My eyes are gray,..luved the pic,.ur daughter is so cute
Averie, that photo is beautiful! I had never heard of that contest until now. Just added an entry. What the hack right ;)
Well I stopped putting “healthy living blogs” into my Reader and now it’s photography or home decor :) And this was the first time Ive entered one of those contests on iheartfaces. They do one per week. Next week it’s pets (don’t have any) so figured I better try the eyes :)
Anxious to see what you entered!
Awesome entry, it’s a great picture! Good luck!
1. My hubby. :-)
2. Yes, but they’re such a dark blue they almost look black sometimes.
Good luck with the contest! Skylar has gorgeous eyes!
Good luck with the photo, it’s a stunning shot of her. I literally just finished watching the documentary about that national geographic picture of the afghani girl with the piercing green eyes. I’ve always loved that picture. Eyes tell such a story.
Your picture is actually #693, not #698. Wow, lots of competition, it’ll really be a feather in your cap if you win.
Mine are hazel. Lots of us hazel-eyed people here. I’m not very happy with the way they look in the past several years; my upper eye-lids are getting quite droopy and “hooded”. I guess I could be euphemistic and say my face is getting more character!
it keeps changing based on people I guess withdrawing or getting DQ’ed
Coming out of LurkerDom to say that picture is Fantastic! She is gorgeous and the photography is stunning.
thanks for the compliments…on her and the photography and for delurking!
Skylar is so gorgeous! My eyes are like a dark caramel-y brown :) I love it when you look in the mirror by a window early on a sunny morning, they are glossy and glittery
My eyes are bright blue. Always. No matter what I wear, cloudy or sunny, doesn’t matter. They are probably my only feature that I have never hated.
Skylar is a knockout. For real.
knockout for real…thank you. I’ll tell Scott to get deadbolt the doors from the boys. He said he’s already going to :)
