Description

I needed a new pic with my short hair. Sometimes a girl just needs to cut off her hair and start over. This is my attempt at a self portrait. It was taken with all natural light, a tripod and my black velvet backdrop hung over my back door :)

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/125 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 83.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 30D

You ARE very beautiful, indeed! Georgous eyes and I love how they go with your green sweater. Love your cute little pose and black bg. I too have been contemplating the whole short haircut thing...three kids later I just need a change. I am afraid my baby might cry or something. I LOVE your hair!!!!!!!! What did your kids/hubby say? So nice to see you up close and personal. Walk proud...you are beautiful! #5503588

My goodness... what nice words :) You all have made my day ! I wore my hair short for years and only in the last couple years have I let it get so long so most people who have known me for a long time thought this was much more like me... It is just me and my kids and they like it.. Deb Go ahead.. cut it. It has really given me a lift :) Candy, you know I love you chickie :) Thank you everyone else for brightening my day... #5504508

Scott A. McDaniel February 17, 2008

The risk was worth the reward (with the haircut and the capture). I'm always so impressed with great self portraits. No matter how attractive the subject is, it takes a lot of guts to not only put your talent out there for criticism but to put you yourself out there. Thank you for taking the risk. Its a beautiful capture. #5505294

Marina and Scott... Thank you for leaving me a comment :) #5506078
