No ifs ands buts or maybes. If one <i>absolutely</i> wants blue clothing, that's what Photoshop can do, but I wouldn't change it. That last picture shows character, sense of humour, sense of inner balance. That's the portrait of a woman whom, even had I not known anything else, I'd like to get to know.<br /><br />--MarioJJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404985455733545060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-26850790401611183382011-01-24T22:33:05.402-05:002011-01-24T22:33:05.402-05:00Wow!

However I prefer the blue touch and even though I prefer a portrait looking away from the camera, it may seem a bit distant to your clients which leaves number 1.<br />number 1 or number 4, I suppose that depends on if you want to remind yourself and others about the background out of season. For me, the image portrayed in number 4 seems to suit your line of work best. Oh and by the way, I hate my photograph taken... but you knew that anyway !!J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-70637950913020560922011-01-24T10:59:01.557-05:002011-01-24T10:59:01.557-05:00All four are good shots, but I like #1 for the bac...All four are good shots, but I like #1 for the back of your books,(because perfect background) and #4 for book signings because it's you and just you.Coloring Outside the Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289093479063221765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-56323691014772838332011-01-23T14:47:14.777-05:002011-01-23T14:47:14.777-05:00I'm probably too late, but I'm going to gi...I'm probably too late, but I'm going to give you my 2 cents worth anyway :)<br /><br />I like number two because the background highlights your hair, and number four because it is like you are peering into our souls (or some nonsense like that).<br /><br />There ya have it!<br /><br />BTW you don't look anywhere near 67!Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137773126591638229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-4101726817136444192011-01-23T12:25:32.740-05:002011-01-23T12:25:32.740-05:00Good grief!

There is a personalization in your direct gaze, that makes me think you are just about to talk directly to me. <br />So, it has to be the last. <br /><br />And never mind that I am pea green with envy over your gorgeous hair.

There are a few people who make an attempt to look ten or may be twenty years younger. They have face-lifts and look ridiculous. I wouldn't trust people, women or men, who don't want to show their age and their grey hair. You have a very lovely face and you earned your wrinkles and silver hair with honour.To be honest: I also hate my photo taken and I often tear them up, but I noticed that my children don't like that, so I stopped doing that.Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-79903410677291346722011-01-22T23:11:25.971-05:002011-01-22T23:11:25.971-05:00Interesting -- Mary, i think you're the first ...Interesting -- Mary, i think you're the first person who knows me in person who hasn't chosen 4.<br /><br />Sally -- I'm glad you like Elizabeth -- but she's younger, slimmer, and better looking than I.<br /><br />Which do I like?

I like the last picture the best. To me it looks like you were telling a story and just stopped for a moment to see if I got the punch line – a little questioning, a little apprehensive, a little ironic, with a lot of intelligence and kindness showing through. I like the others but that one has the most feeling for me. Your hands too are very expressive. It looks like you were explaining something using your hands, and you stopped for a moment. This is a good portrait.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-47340779797807562002011-01-22T22:51:57.450-05:002011-01-22T22:51:57.450-05:00#1 and #4 are both good.
