This is my most recent picture taken by SJ. I played with it in PSE, converted into sepia, adjusted background and then struggled with the title. Then I remembered a character that I saw in a movie and came up with this title. Pls. let me have your thoughts on this.

Susana, it's beauiful. I love the selective style lighting and the great contrast between the face and the background. You did great! #493664Darryl Wilkinson July 30, 2006

With those features you could easily pass for one of the hula dancers on any of the troupes here, Susan :-)! Excellent skin tones and composition to go along with the outstanding lighting! Come to Hawaii and learn how to weave a "haku" lei for your head!!Rakesh Syal July 30, 2006

Very beautiful Susan!! You should be a model!! #3100501Nadya Johnson July 30, 2006
A beautiful and striking portrait, Susana! I love your work on this: the tones are superb! The title's perfect too! #3100523I've observed that many people are attractive but why they are attractive is difficult to define!!! They are not necessarily beautiful!!!
You are attractive with touch of beauty, this is a rare combination and you enhanced this feature by applying appropriate effects and tone in this portrait.
Your efforts are reflecting in this job.
Well Done!!!
