Is it in the Eyes?

This week's Gallery is Eyes
Some people say that it's all in the eyes, I don't think so.
An eye alone may convey life but not the emotion within.
We can look at the whole face but a dead pan look with eyes averted also says nothing except 'alive and breathing'.
I think the overall emotion actually comes from the face muscles around the eyes and mouth. You can force a smile but it doesn't pull the eyes the way a true smile does. The micro expressions we pick up on are very subtle but tend to be based around the movements in the facial muscles that may lift a lip or eyebrow. The eyes can't do it alone.
