This frog was of course very photogenic but the work of the photographer magnifies it. The green color of the frog, the background and the red eyes are complementary colors, which makes the whole very pleasant. The ratio of the framing is judicious, the eyes of this frog attract us immediately. A very good work.

In this contest, I want to see your close-up photos of a non-human animal's eyes, showing their beauty and diversity. It can be anything from the eye of an insect to the eye of a bird or other larger animal.

An amazing composition, the photographer captured the perfect moment with this composition in central symmetry. The framing and the treatment of the colors attract the eye on the colored elements of the beak and of course on these amazing blue eyelids. No excessive processing, which gives a little softness. It's a no-fault picture.

A photo that meets all the criteria to win, the centered composition of the owl, the treatment with vignetting make the eyes of the owl hypnotic. We can not detach ourselves from his gaze. The color treatment is excellent, the eyes and the beak are the main elements and they contrast with the plumage. I also appreciate that there was no excessive noise reduction, the fine details of the plumage are perfectly preserved. Congratulations!

The relatively dull color of the eye of the ram was a handicap but the talent of the photographer makes this photo totally adapted to the theme. Our eye is guided by the horns in a spiral movement to underline its eye, this effect is reinforced by the tight framing. A magnificent composition.
