Eye reflections - what are they called

[carusoswi]

I saw a thread dealing with eye reflections - the poster referred to them with a neat term, and, I'll be doggoned if I can remember even a part of the term. The poster relied upon light reflected from the eyes - the source was . . . well, any source. In the example, there were reflections from a window - one reflection nicely positioned on each eye.

The term gave the impression that this technique would liven up the portrait.

I know what I want to do - just cannot remember what it was called.

Can any refresh my memory?

Thanks.

Well they say the eyes are the window to our soul.

I've done a few with my horse shots. It can work if you have the right colors reflecting.

Suggest you start with sunglasses and get the feel of it all.
