Weekly Photography Assignment: Eyes & Catchlights
Each week we’ll be giving you a theme that you can submit a photo for, and we’ll choose our two favourites to be featured on the Nature TTL website. Participating in these assignments will be a great way for you to force yourself to push the boundaries of your photography and improve together as a community on the website.
Week 43: Eyes & Catchlights
Our theme this week is Eyes & Catchlights. It’s time to focus on the eyes – work on capturing that unique catch-light in the eye of your subject. That’s the little white colour that shows up in the pupil, and it makes a HUGE difference to your photo’s impact.

Last Week’s Favourites
Here are our favourite shots from last week’s theme: Petals & Leaves! You can view all the entries here.
This shot stood out to me because of the striking contrast between the flower and the background. The stem of the flower also blends nicely into the background, all of which are elements which help it stand out nicely.
What lovely colours and focus! Jeff has created a beautiful pattern here, and the single yellow flower stands out nicely from the shot. Beautiful!
