	Ever felt you were being watched?
	Ever felt you were being watched?, a photo by Helen in Wales on Flickr. 28/52 for the group T189ers Photo-a-week This week's theme: Eyes Last year during my 365 project, I spotted a tree, which appeared to have an eye. It's not painted on, it's just the natural shape left where someone has sawn off a branch. I actually thought this was the same one, but comparing photos, it isn't and is, if anything, even more eye-like. I decided that with a bit of tweaking in Photoshop, it would make an amusing shot for the "Eyes" theme. Here is the original, straight out of the camera and totally unaltered.

I love it.

I have some photos I took in an ancient disused olive grove on Crete which had the most awful writhing faces on some of the trees. John said I was wrong to photograph them and wouldn't look at them.

There is a lot of folklore about trees and it's easy to see why.

That's fantastic. There's such a mischievous glint in those eyes. And even the original looks like just the one eye peeking out, but the photo-manip is a really good job.

Thanks. The more I use Photoshop Elements, the easier it gets. To be honest, if the theme hadn't been "eyes" plural, I would probably have just left it with the one eye.

Cute. Looks friendly, like it's trying to decide whether to come out and play

Although hopefully "play" doesn't involve tearing the adorable limbs off those cute little vertebrates...

So do I! :)

I must admit, when I was young, I was afraid of some trees.

I was rather pleased with the expression. The tree looks somewhat astonished. :)

I like it! I can never think of puns, but my husband's really good at them.

A groan is the proper responce to a pun. My work here is done!

Everywhere is very very green at the moment, but we're only getting about 1 sunny day in every four or five.
