Joannie Bertucci level-classic August 07, 2007

Colleen, this is one fantastic portrait of one fantastic looking young man with something other than having his picture taken on his mind! Cheeky devil! :-)

Your husband is a natural for portrait work! Very handsome! #4614454

Colleen Farrell August 07, 2007

Thanks so much, Joan, Joannie, Billy and Tamara! I really appreciate the encouragement--this is my first real portrait!

Next time I'll remember to use the reflector to offset the shadows--I had it on hand, but was too busy trying to keep reflections out of his glasses! :D

Colleen, you’ve got me laughing big time today with your line. You know I really love your work as a photographer and now I guess I’m beginning to love your sense of humor as well. LOL. Btw, say hi to your handsome hubby, Steve for me. Did I say he’s Handsome? Oh yes, he is….100% When can we see yours?? Holding a cat or a bunch of flowers or even watering the plants…you know you could come up with a wonderful idea for a self portrait. That’ll be the day!!!!!! #4617301

Holly Shao August 08, 2007

Colleen Farrell August 08, 2007

Thanks so much for the great comments, Barbara, Raymond, Renee, Evy, Stefania, SuSana and Holly!

SuSana, he's not only handsome, but he's really nice and loves to cook, too! :D Did I get lucky or what, LOL Actually, I've been thinking a lot about doing a self-portrait, but it'll be challenging ... Steve's much better looking than me (and that's not a joke, lol) #4619218

Colleen Farrell September 21, 2007

Thanks so much, everybody--I really appreciate the great encouragement! I do think this got a Finalist because he's cute. ;)

But I also have to say I'm a little disturbed because this photo looks a lot darker on the Mac (with Firefox browser) than on my PC (with Internet Explorer). So ... I'm grateful the judges still thought it was worth a silver! :D #4823167
