The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

The kind of classic beauty a man would pray for Rob. She is a beauty.
Another one well done.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I can't help thinking how awesome she would have looked without that silly hat. Like Roy Scheider said in Jaws, 'That's a real bad hat Harry'. But styles change with the seasons, let alone a century, and my favorites will be quaint in a hundred years too. She projects a quiet, stoic dignity though, and that makes her timeless.

The feathers are very nice, Rob, thank you, and, something that wasn't in your first submission of her, we can see a small portion of the iron "Posing Stand" behind her, at the bottom left. A hundred and more years ago, cameras required long exposures for portraits. In order to keep the subject's head still while the lens was open, an iron stand was used. In this linked image of "Wilson's Improved Rest", we see the curved device at the top that the subject would rest their neck or lower portion of their head against. Clunky but it worked.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
