  Thank you Jessica, Melissa, Julianna, Dominick, Christina, Kara and Pat!

Took over 100 photos to get one just the way I wanted. No photoshoping done except for levels/color and a bit of texture added. The blur of the reflection was done in camera since I had the focus set on the compact itself.

Thanks :-)

  Nice, Susan. The feel of the image is perhaps modern with antique "things" and perhaps vintage, with the person and things of the same age. And we don't care which, because either has a story we want to pursue.

  I really like this one Susan. Great focus! That would have been a trick if this was an SP! Those were the good old days when compacts were metal! :) I remember the powder puffs were really fluffy with some of them, too, unlike our flat ones of today. The colors in this image are really delightful, too, from the striking lipstick to the vintage looking table.

You have an incredible gallery. It was rewarding to stop in again!
