So here I am :))) this is me when I was on Åland. Taken by a friend to me :) I was very consentrated and didnt know he take this :))
Thanks to all who view and comment. I really appreciate it.
A wonderful portrait, Mariana! I really like the way you have the ends of your long hair coming out of the frame. Your friend is a good photographer, who knows his subject well.

Hey, lovely lady, it's nice to see you. I feel like I've known you a long time and now I really get to see you. Thank your friend for taking this shot. I love the way your hair jumps out of the frame and you look great in black!
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

LOL@Digi...nice to meet you, Mariana. As everyone has commented you handled the post work on this pic very well. The black and your hair coming out over the frame is very appealing. Pretty pic of a very pretty and wonderful woman. Thanks :)

Hi Mariana,
It is a treat to see you. Your friend did a nice job of capturing your moment of intense concentration, and the way you have framed it so elegantly makes for a super presentation. You look great!
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

How lovely to see the face behind the images you submit! Love this. Giving the image a romantic sort of feel, our beautiful hair seems to have a mind of its own, curling and sneaking out of the frame. The black oval is perfect.
Several of my photos are available for purchase in larger format at Shutterpoint, and some are also available in high quality framed prints at http://djholmes.imagekind.com/
This is a great portrait for a photographer Mariana! The camera strap, the look of concentration as you 'think' your next capture, and the post-editing work that you have done. It is quite classy and I am proud to call you my friend. Thank your friend for taking your picture for me and thank you for sharing yourself with me ;=)
It's nice to meet you. I'm fairly new to Caedes, but there sure are a lot of nice people here. I agree with mimi. Not much to add after that. Very nice post.
