When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.

All good and interesting choices for close up shots. But I was a little surprised by the voting.........I had to vote for sucker76 because the beauty and power of a young lady or women's eyes has turned the course of history many times. Wish I had thought of it. I know a loving glance has stirred my soul as well as a angry glare has struck fear. And I know from experience I don't scare easy. Congrats to last months winner. Look forward to this months subject.

Salute!

Take care of Soldiers, Show em how its done and do it with em, Run to the Fight & and hold your ground! I die my men go home! If you're a NCO and this ain't you. GET OUT! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

WOW thanks for the wonderful compliment.  This was my daughter's eye.  When I showed her the final picture uploaded to OT, she liked it but said her eyebrows weren't "on fleek" whatever that means.Smile
