"This image really embodies what a smile through someone's eyes looks like. He is subtle in his expressions but his eyes tell a story that makes you want to sit down and have a coffee with him to discover. Plus he is the King of Portland, which is a pretty impressive title" - Brett Jarnagin
"This photo captures the "smize" so well that the photographer didn't even need to show this child's mouth. Bonus points for nailing tack sharp focus at such a narrow depth of field and bringing out every sparkling detail of the eyes!" - Brett Jarnagin
"This man's eyes simply say, "I've got soul!" He just looks like a musician, right? I just Googled him... he is. Great job to the photographer who captured the essence of soul!" - Brett Jarnagin
