    Amazingly beautiful and touching, Shelly. These eyes are like large pools of clear black waters, so trusting and inquisitive.

    Very well done Shelly!

  • Daniel Wills

    Daniel Wills

    very nice :) what lens were you using for such a small depth of field? or do i sense some treatment in there? never the less still great :)

  • Shelly Hiebert replied

    I am still trying to get the whole dof thing down Daniel. I sat on this one for a bit because I thought the dof was maybe too shallow. I used the Nikkor 105 mm 1:2.8 macro lens. I will figure it all out eventually! Thanks for checking it out :)

  • Dean Mullin

    Dean Mullin

    yes – course it was / is!!

  • Andy Evans

    Andy Evans

    Nice one Shelly … the ‘blackness’ of the eye together with those long lashes works really well.

    Amazing and beautiful shot Shelly – perfect focus on the eye and lashes. Would imagine this would look great in a bigger framed version for the proud parents!

  • HenkStolk

    HenkStolk

    when I look at work, I always try to ignore what it is what I’m looking at.
    I see, nice contrast, dark focal point nice off center, nice curves, strong curved sharp black lines.. ahh hee.. it’s a face.

  • Shelly Hiebert replied

    Hmmm…I think I might have learned something else from you. I will have to try that!

  • TickerGirl

    Brillaint image Shelley, I love how the dof focuses so perfectly on the eye and lashes.
    wonderful work my friend. I wish I’d done this type of thing when my Natalie was a baby.

  • Shelly Hiebert replied

    Dof is okay? This was harder to get than you would think! She is a very active little girl! Wish I had done more of this with my own children as well. Thanks for your comment Pete. I always appreciate it :)
