Again one of my nieces, I have many (free models), (~8
I tried something new here, the 'fire' is created by first adding the sepia effect, then increasing the contrast and brightness of the eyes, the sepia effect must be done first, otherwise the brightness and contrast will not have the same effect,
As a sidenote, if you decrease the brightness while increasing the contrast, the eyes turn clean black, another nice effect but to my eye inappropriate in this image, I guess it works with big child's eyes,

Hope you'll enjoy
Tim

I think this is one of your best portraits, if not the best, Tim. The effect you created on your niece's eyes is awesome, AND it's original... Well done!

in one way it scares me Tim, but in the other way it atracts me, The burning eyes are quiet scary, but very mysterious, could be a picture for an advertisement for parfume (my opinion ;))

Beautiful work Tim.

And much appreciated for sharing your knowledge on this technique of sorts. It works wonderfully.

Even without ... I think this is a superb shot.

Well done.

Wow - you've got amazing talent. I wish you could take my picture - I'd love to see what you could do with it. ;)

I love the pose, and the sepia colouring works really well.

This one is pretty cool. It has a calm, relaxing feel to it. Then you see the eyes, and you're kind of like, "Woah, that's cool!"

Congrats on getting onto the Home Page Display!!
