There is a certain aloofness, almost disinterest in your expression that I find intriguing. I'm wondering to myself what's going through your mind at the exact moment this photo was taken. The expression (to me atleast) is almost slightly pained. As if you are pondering how to offload some great load you are carrying on your shoulders.

Love the composition and color and contrast. The slight wash out of YOU, especially your face, may be deliberate...but it leaves me wanting more of your lovely features.
Absolutely positively, hands down, my favorite of all these. It's just perfect. The graininess of the photo reminds me of an artsy Polaroid. It's clean and modern and slightly abstract, and reeks of symbolism (bread and butter to a Victorian like me! ;-)). The mix of old and new is delightful (as is your fluffy hair, I might add, even if I don't think I'll ever really reconcile myself to you with anything other than some shade of red hair, traditionalist that I am).
And I don't know how much formal knowledge of design you have...and how much is just instinctive, or picked up from hanging around me droning on about lines and flow, but the repeated use of triangles in this image keeps the viwer going around and around and around the image. (LOVE the triangle formed by the butterflies and your head!!)
Aren't you just the talented and wonderful baby sister!!!!! :hug:
