Yes they are. But the most eye catching element as soon as the image opened on screen? Not the woman at all................... But the wall behind her taking up almost the right half of the frame! This area with the writing is far more eye grabbing than the woman's eyes. Then I looked at her eyes. My bet is you were seeing her in real life and taken with her eye expressions, also the sound of the music that her eye effect in your mind was far stronger than the over all visual aspect. It happens easily under these kinds of conditions. We all do it, so please take no offence by my comment as it's all part of human nature sensory feelings. If you crop this right down at the edge of her shoulder and drop the right half off the frame as I did you'll see these powerful piercing eyes as you describe. It creates a much stronger photograph of her and she really looks like she's putting a hex on you for taking her picture! ;-) ted
