Thanks Paul. LOL, that's me, the original plastic woman. I actually do have metal in my left leg, but it isn't visible, so maybe this is representative.
Anyway, i'm glad you like it.

Doing portraits yourself you sex kitten you! Oh hang on just notices the leg connector. You need to PS these little imperfections out young lady. Otherwise you look like you haven't aged day since I last saw you. Great! Paul

See, I told you I thought you'd probably already thought of that. I like it a lot anyway: it has something in common with what Silas is up to... edgy. Tim

I don't have a polariser to fit the Oly lenses, and to get a decent one is very expensive (my Nikon fit ones are either B&W multi-coated or Nikon...not on my shopping list right now ;-) However, I could have cloned out the reflection but decided not to; i felt it added to the feeling of imprisonment implied by the exploitation of female beauty to sell beauty to women.

Ditto Shelby and Silas, though I wonder if a polariser might get rid of the reflections? But then, I bet you already thought of that! Tim

Hi Flick,
Wonderful texture and composition.

I love this -- it's really peculiar... there's a message too!
