  A VERY creatively composed portrait! I love the double meaning of the title in the picture - very clever! I sure hope we get to see this again - very very well done!!

p.s. I hope you don't mind this suggestion - but have you tried a crop straight done the center of his nose:-)

  I'm happy you like this Amalia, Wendy, Kate & Alisha...thank you much for leaving your comments with me! :0)
p.s. I don't mind suggestions at all Wendy! :0) I actually did think of that AFTER I uploaded the shot! :0) It works great this way for if it gets framed, but would work better gallery-wise to have cropped it. I'll always appreciate your thoughts! :0)

  Gosh BP and BP friends...this is such a nice surprise!! :0)
THANK YOU SO MUCH for offering your congrats & commments on this Darryl, Susie, Terri, Helen, Shawn & Alana!! :0)
I wasn't able to do much with my photos during our move and then I ended up having to have surgery this month, so it is so nice to not be forgotten when I have been so absent. I'm finally feeling ok enough that sitting in the computer chair for awhile isn't so bad and look forward to getting back at my photos again!! :0) BP will be a great way to spend recovery time! I look forward to seeing everyone's stuff!! :0)
Again, thanks so much for sharing with me!! :0)

  Woohoo! Congratulations, Lori! You deserve every bit of the attention! This is a great image, I love your conversion, it gives it somewhat of a "worn" look.
