Much better, Nico. Now it's perfect. :) ~Lydia

Thanks, Guys.

Lydia - I posted a new version with less pink underneath my eyes. All due to standing in the smoke for far too long...

Pops - Oops, I never thought about that connotation! :-)

dtallakson - You bet! Far hotter than I anticipated!

Lee - your point is well made, but in this case it was all intentional... borrowing a black t-shirt, wearing it "inside-out" so the lettering would not show and very carefully positioned honey-combed lights to catch my face and hands only. I took my inspiration from this masterpiece:http://www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=741560 .., mine is not in the same league though.

Kind regards, Nico

Wonderful, Nico! I like seeing your face. I wish the undersides of your eyes were not so pink. Other than that... perfection. Really creative and exotic. ~Lydia

Nico, do you suffer from heart burn?

This one's right up my alley! I love the hot glow of the fire reflected off your hands. I bet it was HOT! -dtallakson

well done! to nick pick, I might have chosen a different color or no shirt to help separate you from the background.
