All Eyes on My Best Shot Monday

My 9-year-old daughter was watching over my shoulder as I worked with Picasa on this image. "You actually like that picture Mom?" she asked. "I do" I replied. "I think it's weird," she said as she walked out of the room. So, after the vote of confidence, I almost didn't post it for My Best Shot Monday. And after all, I didn't even take it this week...it was one from last week so I felt even worse about it. But then I remembered, this is my blog and I can do what I want. I keep telling everyone there's no real rules here so, here's mine-

 

You still like me don't you? And I promise, no matter what picture you chose to post, I will still like you too. Can't wait to discover your best shots!

Please note- When you share a link to your photo, try to link it to somewhere that gives us the ability to comment. I like adding little notes to the submissions. And I know other readers like to too. And if it's a link to your blog, remember to give us the permalink so even if someone clicks over a day or two late, they will sure to find your submission. Thanks!

I love yours--probably because I love detail, and that shot is definitely detail. Besides, she'll love that pic when she's thirty and seeing her first wrinkle :)

Here's my link!

OK, mine's an eye photo, too...but not as dramatic as yours.

I was messing around with Photoshop on this one... http://www.flickr.com/photos/divrchk/403363689/in/pool-ttpt/

Oh, and I have a request, Tracey... When you use Picasa or Photoshop on a picture in a post, could you include how you achieved the effect?

I love the blurred hands going on in this one.

I wish it were technically better, but I love how she looks like she's a thousand feet up in the air.

Tracey...awe inspiring...that eye is to die for. Unbelievable. So powerful. A hard act to follow but here's mine.

LOVE the shot, Tracey! I have a similar one I took about a few days ago. It's actually a cropped version of his full face. And it was an accidental shot all together, so I love it even more! Happy Monday :-)

i'm posting this shot not because it's technically good, but because the story behind it amuses me. my younger son & i went to buy new flip-flops for the spring and the only ones he wanted were hot pink. who is more confident in his masculinity than a three year old? :)

Hi everyone! I am also an eye junkie when it comes to babes. Have you ever heard of ArcSoft Photo Studio for photo editing? This is the editing software that came with my camera (Canon Rebel XT) and it seems ok but a little confusing. I don't think I can afford to splurge on photoshop at the moment.

Anyway, here are my submissions! Enjoy!

Okay, here's another, AND I've decided to hop on the train and implement my own "BSM" into my blog. Thanks again, Tracey!

Not really a good quality picture, ut I think it's adorable regardless.

This is just a fun picture my 6 year old daughter took of herself over the weekend after losing her 3rd tooth within the past week. She is very proud of her new toothless grin!!http://www.flickr.com/photos/kimkellykreations/403695254/

I love this eye shot! The detail of the eye and the softness of everything else - lovely!!

Here's my submission (confession time: mine's not from this week either!)

Some of my son's favorite spots around the house are in the strangest of places...the bathroom sink for one...and his newest one is illustrated here:

I'm glad you posted it despite the criticism, Tracey. I really love it. I don't have a cool, technically sound pic this week...just another expression that I love - in fact, I didn't even mess with the pic at all - straight from my camera to my blog. I'm out of time already this week...
