Blue Eyed Stare

Incredible eyes & a really nice portrait of an Egyptian!!!

Wonderful portrait Craig. Those eyes certainly are captivating!

love the eye contact and what amazing eyes

Brilliant photography and portrait work. I love the way you have captured the relationship between you and him and his amazing blue eyes make this so much more special. Very well done.

Wow Craig, those eyes really are amazing. He has such a gentle look about him.

Are those eyes for real, or have you photoshopped them??

Wow, that’s amazing! It’s a great portrait!

best portrait I’ve ever seen

Did you know if anyone in his family has the same coloured eyes? I’m curious about the genetics.

*do

Stunning color Craig – and an interesting portrait.

And you were worried about not getting great shots!! This is brilliant portraiture. Well done Mr Goldsmith and welcome home!

Wonderful capture of a wonderful subject. There are quite a few blue eyed people in the Middle East and surrounds of what used to be called Arabia, Possibly something to do with Richard the Lionheart’s lot and their visits. haha

Oh Craig you were really lucky that you could captivate such beautiful eyes!!! Beautiful shot plus it shows that how much fun you might have had.

Spectacular shot craig. Well done.

wow…. what a portrait, those eyes

Stunning portrait, Craig!
amazing colors and textures

Nat’l Geo….. you’re on your way….lol… good one….

Great tones and composition, reminds me of Dune.
Great work
FAVED

Spectacular portrait – depth of field perfect, and the colour is amazing! (the eyes are incredible, and I love how they stand out against both the face and the rest of the photo. Also, gotta love the detail in the fabric of the clothes)

Wow! That’s amazing Craig. Reminds me of a National Geographic cover from a few years ago. Great shot.

Fantastic capture. Those eye’s remind me a bit of Herbert’s “Dune” series. Awesome work.

This is really fantastic !!!

stunning shot.

Great portrait!

feels like he just stole my soul through his eyes…

i LOVE the eyes but also the way the colour of his headdress complements his skin tone and the backround, it really makes his eyes stand even more

beautiful colour and depth of field

great portrait – so what is it about portraits and cliche??

You are absolutely right ,those eyes are very striking Graig,GOOD image

Super image Craig. I like his Mo too.

Absolutely breathtaking shot. I love it. the color of his eyes are breathtaking he could make a million on photos

This is an amazing photo, you are really drawn into it. Great work.

wonderful capture and wonderful eyes.

All of the above Craig, very well done.

Great image craig. You definitely captured an amazing look and feature which is not as common in Arab countries but it is a well know phenomenon. In fact, there’s an entire tribe of Bedouins known to have blue eyes living on the Arabian Peninsula, and being in Sinai I personally met a few with striking blue eyes. Rumor has it they are descendents of the mostly European Crusaders. And, even outside those genetic bounds, there are plenty of blue, and green-eyed folks of Arabian descent in Saudi, Jordan and Syria, to name a few. So this image is also a wonderful genetic documentary in a way… and, a fantastic addition of people portraiture from Egypt to the Art in the Middle East group.

Magnificent portrait!

This is amazing, Great shot!

Fabulous capture. His eyes are truly mesmerising!

Wow i’ve never seen eyes so blue. I did meet a Blue eyed Egyptian once ..but he had red hair and pale skin…yet he still looked Arabic. I love the diversity of people around the world.
Nice shot!

I’d be crazy not to comment on this one… You’ve definitely outdone yourself. this is such a striking photograph. good on you for giving him some money to capture his image. I love the immediate contrast between his eyes and the surroundings.
