Eyes--- so powerful

I can determine a good photograph by the expression in one's eyes and I ask myself these questions.  Does it shine?  Does the photograph tell a story when you look into his her eyes? Does emotion reflect in his or her eyes?  

Eyes always amaze me and when I am able to capture them with expression, I feel successful.

What surprises me the most is when eyes are magnified in beauty through the use of  black & white. or sepia developing.
