Thank you all for your submission. Now I can say that you proved my thesis that the beauty is in the eyes - :literally and therefor all deserve the wining. But the rules ay there should be one and my duty is to choose him So I wil do my best to do so.

Kerrowdown - as I said before Awsome start - Detail, expression, composition
gump - This eye looks like alien and kind of creepy - strong expression again and nice color contrast
atupdate - Those eyes makes me feel like I am there and the monkey really sees me and communicates with me!
aslyfox - Original context here. I like the idea
Bruce Clark - Wow, this makes me feel surprised every time I look at it.
NatureHike - The eye is the center of the picture - nice detail and defocus
Vaskebjorn - those eyes look so real - color, detail, bokeh composition ... it has everting
OscarKK - another brave beholder with expression, composition and bokeh
noelcmn - I will plagiarize you because the image deserves it - Thank you for the nightmare Noel! This detail gives me goosebumps
SpecialK - this photo looks like a picture painted by an artist. I Like it
Thagomizer - another beautiful picture.
zagaya - Stright in the point
ramseybuckeye - Amazing portrait Tom. The expression reminds me of Sean Connery
ToninoMESKS1 - I bet this one was fast but caught never the less
Hattifnatt - Another strong expression - and colors are in sync with it. Interesting composition
Apet-Sure - To be or not to be? Is this the question tis eye asks me? strong expression and detail
jacamar - Impressive detail of this black ravens eye!
and finaly - jheu02 - this picture confuses me every time I look at it. real Enigma for my brain!

I Wish to pay deserved attention to every eye that stared at me thro the monitor this week but doubt I have the power to do it because of a terrible toothache

So The winer is atupdate shortly followed by ramseybuckeye and Vaskebjorn.

Honorable mention to Kerrowdown and zagaya and great thanks to all the others,

And in the end - the one and only very, very special Hororable mention goes to Noel

Behold the picture of the thread! Awaiting to surprise us with the new challenge.

Well now, that was a fine challenge, as usual top notch images, and equally top notch judging! Congrats Atupdate, that pose alone is a winner. And congrats extended ramseybuckeye and Vaskebjorn and the HM's Kerrowdown and Zagaya. And the special honorable mentions to a certain noel. Funny guy that! In any event, you should be really grateful I was in a good mood when I posted that image, it may have been this one-that would really give you nightmares

Wrong gues Noel but thank you very much for this Shareing. As a fan of White snake this one makes me feel excited.
Thanks again.

[Vaskebjorn]

Congrats to Tim and thanks to Yaki for the “almost win”. It would already have been a challenging judgingsession without a tooth playing up. I hope you can get that fixed really quick.

[Bruce Clark]

Another terrific challenge, well done all.
