My favourite things........and me :)

Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 29 September 2007 in People & Portrait 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 :)

R from Here and There, United States

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)

Rabbit from Richmond, United States

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.

Shrig from New Jersey, United States

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 :)
