Her photograph is so bright that it smarts my eyes.
Does the sentence above make sense?
What are other alternatives?
Thanks |

It makes sense, MissD, but the grammar is unusual - ... that it makes my eyes smart is the normal phrasing. Two other possibilities: ... that it hurts my eyes and ... that it blinds me. |
