Eyes -picture prompt contest

Contest is Over

• Contest was judged on November 21
• Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 500, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
• Final notes:
  This was a great contest to judge.. and everyone did very well so thank you. Gold and silver are actually both gold.. if only there was a "tie" trophy. I gave them the same amount of points, however... there was no way in hell to judge between those two -they were that amazing. Great job everybody!

  her eyes twinkle in the sunlight as she looks into the sun, each second pondering the life she has begun, her eyes have seen the pain of tragedy and distress, the loss of a loved one and a father that doesn't know how to cope

  You can often tell alot by looking into/at a person's eyes. It intrigues me. However, I am one who doesn't like it when a child's eyes can tell such a big story. I don't like it. Children witness too much. Pictures of eyes are beautiful and thought provoking. Nice contest

    I asked for both the prompt and the user name in the author's notes. Perhaps I'm mistaken but it seemed from your author's notes that you were not planning on changing this...? I'm sorry if I offended you, it's just that I don't have that many rules and I appreciate when people respect them.
