Interesting take on the latest fashion trends... it is sure eye catching, no doubt!

Charlie - I'm actually standing, not sitting; it's the converging knees that give that impression. It seems the latest fashion in fashion posing is for the model to look bent in all the wrong directions. Odd, but interesting, so I followed their lead, this being somewhat a fashion shot. Yes, of course, I am the model. Who else? LOL! I, too, liked the tilt of the image and immediately poo-poohed any thought of "correcting" it. Thank you for noting and validating. :) I did not remove the two items on top because doing so took some edginess and reality out of the image, so I undid the removal immediately. As is, it retains the sense of a lived-in place, as opposed to a set. I removed the bright pink item which was a distraction; the other remained.

Nico - Thank you for the rewelcome; it's great to be back! Once again, I was moved to tears as I finished this image. Without my camera I had a void in my soul. Thank you for the compliments. :)

Kelly - I had to look that up! It's particularly funny because, if you look closely, you can see that there is a little platform that connects the bottom of the heel of the shoe to the sole of the shoe. These are actually wedge heels with a window cut out - if that makes it easier to visualize. With this "base" attached to the bottom of the shoes, they remind me of the shoes/braces that one puts on a baby's feet to turn them in or out for correction. So, you are so right, and all I need is the bar to screw the shoes to! Yes, aren't those stockings fun! I went for a haircut yesterday, and everyone in the salon was commenting on either my shoes, my stockings, or both. They were such a hit! I was wearing it with a high-waisted black pencil skirt with a long slit up the front of one leg, and a black top with white polkadots that matched the stockings perfectly! Fashion is fun!!! :) ~ Lonnit

Well the "wide" part (i.e., the bench or whatever it is that you are sitting on, as I infer you are the subject) is certainly in evidence. I like the way this image is, and is not, leaning. Top of image is parallel to top of bench, but bottom of bench is not parallel to bottom of image. I don't think this would work as well if you forced all the lines to be level. FWIW: There is a sheet of paper and a couple other minor things above the seat that you might consider removing.
