It is often said that the eyes are the windows to the soul... Well when it comes to portrait and wildlife photography, that is definitely where you want to put your focus - literally. Sometimes a slight shift in focus can make a huge difference in the impact of your images.

It works for people portraits. It works for bird portraits. it works for turtle portraits. it even works for damselfly portraits! Focus on the eyes. It will tell much more to the "story" of your image.
The verse from Mathew above is a beautiful reminder of how important our eyes are. Not just our physical ones, which amplify the physical beauty and health of our bodies, (and make for great pictures!) but especially our spiritual eyes. What we behold... that is what we become. Let's focus on the Lord and things pleasing to Him - and we'll be seeing great things indeed...
