Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 29 September 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.
These are a few of my favourite things, my dragonfly, rose photo, rose shirt, in my favourite chill out room and of course my camera :) I think I look a little vacant in this one, I didn't have my son Josh to help me with my pose this time, and boy does it show LOL :D
it's been really great to see all the wonderful AM3 friends, from all over the world coming together in such a creative way! A BIG hug to everyone :) And a big thank you to Dimitrios for suggesting it :)
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)
I really appreciate all your comments, thank you so much. I'm only sorry I've not got time to respond. I do read all the comments and will try to answer any questions you have about my posts :)
ON OUR RECENT TRIP, TO NORWAY AND THE ARCTIC, WE VISITED 7 PLACES AND TRAVELED A TOTAL DISTANCE OF 4233 NAUTICAL MILES 1 nautical mile = 1.15 land miles or 1.852 kilometers.
What a beautiful photo! Nice to see you again, Have a beautiful weekend!

I think it's charming!
29 Sep 2007 10:21am
very nice image Mary ...... I guess the angle makes me feel like you are traped in a portal in some far away place and not just your reflection in the mirror ...... very cool stuff here !
Have a WONDERFUL weekend ....... I guess Dimitrios made you work this weekend ..... we did not get the standard angle picture with the Have a Nice Weekend message on it ....lol.... ;o)

You do not look vacant at all, the spacing is beautiful and weighs out properly with your mirror and dragon fly.
You may not have had your son to help you, but my darling, this is truly a breathtaking capture. A Stunning work of art my dear! This picture not only portrays your photographic ability but accentuates your photogenic qualities. This is probably the best self portrait I've seen.
29 Sep 2007 10:55am
Great photo! I like how you incorperated your favorite things into the shot (roses and dragonflies). Even the design of the mirror adds so much, but it's all very simple at the same time. Well done :)
