I like your portraits...capturing the 'look'... photos can be insightful and open a window into the soul. This communicates to me a self-confidence despite the hair-storm.

Again, I like your lighting, and the cool effect with the hair. Unique and mysterious.

I don't know what an Edge 80 is, but the result here is outstanding. Appears to me to be an underwater portrait with the hair flowing with the current. Super cool!

Hi Barbara, The Edge 80 is a portrait lens that pops into the Lensbaby.

Thanks for the comments all. :wavey:

Great title, it works for me Lorna..
This must be the pre-curse version of Medusa, when she was still very beautiful of course :cool:
I especially like the use of sidelight here and her "divided" countenance:toast:

Howard this would be mid transformation as Medusa was a beautiful goddess until Athena's curse, so this was taken at the moment the curse started to take hold. :wink:
