  Nice Shot, Dolores. By the way, Dolores was my grandmother's name. I am from Brazil but she was from Spain.

  Hi CArla!! Thank you for your lovely post! I appreciate that you took the time! Yes, "Dolores" is a Spanish name and means "sorrow". I hate that it means "sorrow" but I like my name anyway. My father chose it...must have heard it somewhere. Happy Day!!

  ..that girl is a natural and great talent ( and the picture tell us
already) so: great combination.

Again a proof that sharing nice and important things - like art & photo's -
could give a surplus in the quality of our lives.

  Good morning dear Gunther!! I am deeply appreciative for your post!! I know it takes alot of time to comment and to include me is a wonderful little gift. thank you for gracing my image with your comment! Happy day!!

Hello Darren! Ah yes, the eyes..so important to at least have them in focus... though I had such difficulty with this short depth of field. You just hope when you go through the shots that you were able to get those eyes. THank you so much for your kindly post! I appreciate your efforts also!! Happy day!!

  Love this portrait shot, Dolores! The focus on the eye makes it a personal contact instead of simply a photograph. Very appropriate title also :-)

  Hi BT!! Promo for Exorcist?? Hah...I wouldn't ever have my work associated with that spiritually destructive movie! I had nightmares for months afterward (I was a teenager when I saw it)...really shook my belief system.
Nope, I ain't hot...just a tryin' to make my way in the photography world, my man...if anyone'll have me!

Hi again, Kathleen! More thanks from me to you too!!

Hello Monika! YOu were the first one to express your enthusiasm on this image and I'm privileged!! Thank you so much for your confidence in it!

Big thanks for another compliment, Mette! Much obliged, as always, for your sweetness!!

Hi Ellen! Thank you!! Congrats to you too!!
