March 12

I hate hate hate doing SP's because they need so much retouching. (WHY is it that men look so 'distinguished' with character lines, while women- at least me - look like old hags???) but I was tired tonight after working on the computer all day, I needed a neck rub, and the camera went off as I was sitting there. Yeah, right. I got more Jude mc pictures from all the outtakes, that will remain somewhat private (Love ya Jude :)

SO this will prob be the last SP for my PaD; Throwing another that took alot out of me, into the YIR:
. It was pretty funny.

Canon EOS 20D

Great effect on this one Karen. I love the softness in this image. I love the pose it is so perfect for this type of effect. I like how your one hand is raised and touches your neck, in my opinion extremely feminine movement.

I love the soft tones, very beautiful portrait Karen

I think it is a lovely SP Karen. Don't stop posting these :o)

Very nice portrait - you look great. This has a great soft halo glow to it that's sort of ethereal. Nice finish to it.
Gary Winters14-Mar-2005 05:06
Somehow I missed this yesterday. Karen, this is quite simply your BEST SP to date. I agree with everything said below; I love the mood, the pensive, reflective mood you've captured.

Beautiful portrait. Nice this soft style.
Robin Reid13-Mar-2005 21:37
Beautifully done!

Wonderful portait.

This is a nice one. I like to think that, like good whisky, we all improve with age.
Neal Nye13-Mar-2005 13:08
It is simply dreamy.
Guest 13-Mar-2005 11:50
I like the softness..wonderful natural pose..beautiful sp
Karen Stuebing13-Mar-2005 11:13
It's a great portrait. And I know lots of men who DON'T look distinguished. :)

I see the black eye photo. There's another Rough and Rowdy brawl coming up if you're interested. :)

Despite what you are thinking Karen, I think this one is an extremely good portrait. Very well taken.
Guest 13-Mar-2005 11:01
Wonderfully talented capture of the feel of the moment. Perhaps you need to look with the kindness you have when looking at other people.
Gayle P. Clement13-Mar-2005 07:02
This is a very nice one, Karen. I like the soft look.

If only Max Factor sold photoshop, I would buy it by the tubfull :>) Karen, the diffuse glow works beautifully on your sweater. A lovely SP.
Guest 13-Mar-2005 04:59
I like the mood and softness of the SP...Nice...
Guest 13-Mar-2005 04:42
Excellent capture of your mood,Karen.
Carmen13-Mar-2005 04:30
I think this one's great... I love the soft glow -- no blur tool can strip away the mood that shines through here.
Laryl13-Mar-2005 04:25
I love your top photo.. wonderful portrait
Dennis Steinauer13-Mar-2005 03:58
This is a *very* good photo, Karen. Why is it that women are so hard on themselves? (Now, I'm anxious to see some of the outtakes! :-)
Coleen Perilloux Landry13-Mar-2005 03:52
Well, if I could get a nice one like this, this old hag would try it.
Elaine (etfitz)13-Mar-2005 03:18
Wonderful portrait! Like the soft, hazy look!
jude13-Mar-2005 02:55
Love the soft, hazy look to this.. great emotion here
Leo Charette13-Mar-2005 02:53
Beautiful portrait Karen... I'll have to return to read your description.
Herb 13-Mar-2005 02:50
Nice and soft.
Karen Leaf13-Mar-2005 02:45
Oh rats I had the whole thing written out, too! Oh well, I'll update this story whenever we're up again.
Guest 13-Mar-2005 02:43
Nice dramatic pose Karen. Love the diffused soft effect!
