Eyes are often considered to be the window to the soul, as they can reveal depths of information about a person or animal. What tends to be most striking about eyes is the color, which is caused by pigments in the iris called melanin and lipochrome. Eyes can also have other characteristics, such as size of the pupil, visibility of the blood vessels of the eye, and interactions with the eyelid, lashes and eyebrows, all that can indicate mood, intention and other information. For photographs, capturing photographs of the eye can also reveal this information, but it’s challenging due to things such as blinking, light responsiveness, and more. Here’s some photographs that will captivate you: I am watching you by Kristen Bird Red by Mustafa Arifoglu eyes by hotknickers Eye by Rudolf Vlcek Fissures by Alyz Tale Clement by James Goldsmith Eyes by Uni-student Eyes by Riccardo Cupplnl Eye by Buncle Untitled by Rustam Blue Eyes by EsmeraldEyes Eye by Sara Eyes by Stansislav eyes by ghostiness Eagle by Andy Luberti Self-Love2: Eyes by my-goddess Eye by Jessica Loyola By Orit Shachar electricrainx: Eyes by ElectricRainx Green Eye by Andrel Nistor By Larazanarini Green eyes by xthumbtakx My left eye by Christina Frederiksen Te veo by Paco Green eyes by lux69aeterna Eye by Rekha Stare by Fahmi Dreamy Eyes by Xiang-yin Eyes by Stu 46 by Nigel Maudsley Related Posts 30 Photographs of the Past 30 Marvelous Underwater Photographs 30 Magical Photographs of the Moon 10 Beautiful Examples of Makeup Packaging Design 30 Orange Photographs of the Sun

If you’re working on a social, web or mobile app, it’s often important to show your designer, developer, investors or marketers what your project is going to look like, early on, and part of the way you can do that is through prototyping using UI kits. UI kits let you rapidly build out a website with structure and some styling to give the general idea for a website’s functionality. It’s possible to build fully functioning websites with UI kits as well, but for originality, changing some styling is advised. In this post, I’ve gathered up some great HTML5 and CSS3 UI kits that are already coded out so you can copy and paste elements as needed and utilize them without having to code them: Flat UI Kit Flatastic Mobile UI Kit Interface UI Kit Super Minimal V2 Kit Epic UI Kit Material Kit Bootflat Kit eShop Kit Get Done Kit Responsive Flat Kit Related Posts jQuery Date and Calendar Plugins Free Browser PSD Mockups to Download Creative Music App Interface Designs Free Flat Icon Sets to Download Fresh Must-Download UI Kits

Legos are an incredibly popular toy for children and teens (as well as adults) that utilize building blocks to create larger objects, structures and scenes. Legos most often come in pre-packaged kits that are designed to have all the pieces for a given scene, but they also have tubs of assorted pieces that can be purchased. Legos are often used to recreate cute and unique scenes, or construct mind-blowing creations, and they can be great photographic subjects: White Farm by Sabrina secco LEGO gravestone by zenekL Lego Toucan by Nate A Lego ww2 by Mana Duck Lego by PlanetOrion Lego Squirrel by Nate A Lego House by Georgi Varzonovtsev LEGO Space Marines by Scharnvirk 113 - Now what? by Jose Betancur LEGO Minecraft The Cave (21113) by Allan Tran Lego Doctor Who by LucifersLego The Building Blocks of Life by CoffeeCUp Robot LEGO Agents 2.0 Collectio byMerc4Hire :iconheatherbeast: LEGO Hindenburg Disaster by Heatherbeast 122 - Boxing time by Jose Betancur EMD SD40-2 Lego 1:16 by bricksonwheel Lego Amaterasu (2008)by Stratadrake Save me by Frank Kohntopp Lego Museum by Joe Miller lego city in Indonesia by adi2007 Cookies and Tea By Mauro Sanhueza-Celsi LEGO Kaiju attack by Ollveseon LEGO Yoda Bust by gloriouskyle Ready and working by Michel Dion LEGO WW2 Axis by Lewls Lego Battlemech by Dawley Haciendo la cosecha by Zenti66 Lego Bricks by Sam LEGO AirGear G0-X9 by dorpheos-workshop Yaaargh by Ben Robson Related Posts 30 Really Cool Tilt Shift Photographs 30 Captivating Photographs of Eyes 30 Photographs with Rings 30 Photographs of the Past 30 Marvelous Underwater Photographs

One of the best ways to promote a movie is to create a promotional or teaser website related to the film. It encourages users to check out the movie, sign up for updates, and get the visitor interested in the plot. Promotional websites can be a direct overview and teaser of the film, or they can be an interactive experience designed to explore the events leading up to the film, a game related to the movie, or a fictional website about an entity in the film. In this post, you’ll see some creative promotional websites for movies and films: Dawn of Planet of the Apes Cinderella Past Midnight Jurassic World District 13 Interstellar 3D Tour Big Hero 6 Earth to Echo Build Your Own Boxtroll Grey Noah Related Posts Fun and Entertaining Game Websites Deliciously Designed Food Websites Turbocharged Car and Automotive Website Designs Inspiring Retro Web Designs The Magic of Double Exposure Photography

Photographs are always of an event or scene in the past, and they have traditionally been used to document the past in order to remember it or show it in the future. However, some photographs are specifically designed to show the contrast between the past and present, or to showcase something from the past and show how time has elapsed. In these photographs of the past, there can be subtle or dramatic differences over time, but you’ll be sure you’re looking at the past: In the past by Pamba Forgotten Palouse by Shaun Schlager Past by Sunsword Vespa by porstein H.lngibergsson Shadow of the Past by DarkSecretLoveX Window on the past by Paolo Giraudo Smpile Past by Nourah Abdullah Old Road to Petra by Walde Jansky Meeting with the past by angelcurioso Whitby Abbey by Chris Kench A window to the past by Aslf Past by Rui Ribeiro Pond Of The Past by Alexandru1988 Past And Present by Asmin Kuntal Bhar Back … in the past By KrystynaAnnaMaria A Present Past by WayneBenedet Colour of the past by Paolo Giraudo Into the future but not without the past by Janusz Uncles’s bike by Lucia Wanatowiz By Stefano c Power of the past by PatiMakowska The old day by bninja Past and preaent by Carolline Dattner Blanksteln Pant by Diana Popescu Past Times by eKBS Past the Gate by Andrew shock -Reflection of the past by Punlt Sharma Rusty by Fernando Amato Memories by LooseBalloon No related content found.

Using a game on your website is one of the best ways to boost interactivity on your site and keep your users engaged for a long period of time, and make them want to return for more. When a website is a fun experience for the user, it encourages them to give their data, time, attention and focus, which is why games also make effective advertising tools and apps. Users have high expectations for the appearance of games these days though, and they need to be entertaining and addictive.

Tattoos are a form of body art that has been around for centuries. The process of tattooing involves injecting ink under the skin to create a given design. Tattoos have been around almost as long as mankind, and many prehistoric tribes are known to have used tattoos for tribal significance, spirituality, and indicating societal status. Most people with tattoos use them as a form of body art, and love to show off their decorations: Tattoed Surfer by Diane Varner Dmitriy Scherbatly Dejana by Milenko Dilas Tattoo by lesyakikh Selfie Shot by Flippo Peruz By Alex Zhavoronkov A Fishy Tatto by Colarado Sands Lisa Leapord by Dan LaHaie Tribal work by Isuf Costl The Crusade by Rudy Lamboray Wallflower by Patryk kott Caucasian mother carrying daughter piggyback outdoors by Gable Denims Old School tatto by Isuf Costl Valentine’s Day by Dlogo Costta By Shestock Tattoo Artist Ralf by MissAgentCooper Alike by Can Dagarslani Mas que un tatuaje by Miguel Angel Junquera By Valatina Manjarrez Twenty-seven. by Hellow Handsome fit athletic shirtless young man By Stefano c Serglnho Tatto by 100_0931 first tattoo (: by Molly Green Che by Dan Brewer anya garlenchick by Katro Forever by hellow People tattoo by Karla Amelburu -Portrait by Savenkovaliza This is on account of my loving you forever.. by Cindy Flying Tatto by Pavlinbaharov Related Posts 30 Beautiful Tattoo Portraits 30 Captivating Photographs of Eyes 30 Marvelous Underwater Photographs 30 Photographs with Rings 30 Photographs of the Past
