This is so 20-30's with the hair, dark lipstick and clothing. Like you stepped back in time. Was the effort planned or did it just come together nostalgic? Whatever the case, very well done! #4753137

I love the nostalgic effect here. I have been leafing through vintage photos lately, and this reminds me of some of the glamour shots of the 40s. Great job on this distinctive portrait. #5107016
