When you focus on the eyes of your subject, you make a connection with them to share with others.
The intense golden stare of an alert Great Horned Owl.
The ghostly ice-blue eyes of a dog with ancestry from frozen lands.
The chestnut brown gaze of an immense grizzly bear in motion.
The always searching orange eyes of a Cooper’s Hawk on the hunt.
The coalescence of green in a glance from a contented cat.
The large, far seeing, deep brown eyes of a grazing pronghorn.
A focus on eyes of different colors enlightens us all.

Oh my goodness Siobhan, that opening owl is amazing - great catch! I guess I'm just a sucker for birds because I also really loved the hawk - those eyes are incredible! Excellent comparison between so many species with such different eye characteristics
Thanks, Tina! Yes, the birds of prey have such intense eyes that it makes them hard to ignore.
Great photos! The first image is incredible!
Thank you, Amy!
