Congratulations, Lady! The other comments, your placement, and score have already identified you skills and this photos as par excellence! :)

The Best I can hope to do is give a hearty AMEN! I pray that one day my skills will excel as yours have...

The only thought that I would like to add is a compliment to your subjects. They truly are so identical that I would be willing to guess that they can finish each other's sentences. They probably could substitute on dates for each other due to last minute scheduling issues (without a boyfriend catching on too quickly.)

Finally, I think sometimes it's fun to take a "wild guess" about something based on scientific probability just to see how close you come.

Therefore, based on what I know of muscles and the way they are used and defined through repetition, I would guess that the girl on the left is on-average more serious than the girl on the right because her slight smile looks more deliberate and less defined. The girl on the right has extra dimples with the one on the corner of the mouth being more defined,...all of which indicates an easier and more natural smile made effortlessly.

Maybe this knowledge is worth something to somebody, but it is just another indication of how I look at life...in the macro.

Thank You for enduring my impromptu critique...Bottom Line: This is a Great Portrait and the Black & White really sells it! :)

Congratulations, Ms. Judi!

Your excellence behind the camera has never surprised me! (For that matter the Blue, doesn't surprise me either...) What does surprise me is that you don't have a flock of Blues flying in formation...way before now!

Onward and upward, Lady! You are real CLASS! :)

A Sheila who's for real-a! :}

Excellent Sepia tone and usage of repetitive complexity to create unifying simplicity (i.e. the wheat and hair strands.) Obvious quality! :) Congratulations! :)

The Overdose

For one I would welcome a lazy cat...that is not bulimic. Our oldest cat, Monaco, walked into our lives back in January of 1995. So, that would make her about 13 1/2 or 14 years old by now. (We guessed that she was about six to nine months...or maybe a year old when she was "dropped off" on our dirt road.)

Anyhow, "Coco" as well like to call her now eats uncontrollably...snarfing down everything available, then spends the next half hour purging. (It has really gotten old...) We have tried feeding her separately from the other two cats knowing that if we feed them normally and feed her as though she was on a subsistence diet, then she will have a "progressive supper" every time she eats.

Yet, this still causes me to have to monitor the amount of water she gets right after eating or she still purges. Suggestions anyone?

Frankly, I never imagined that I would end up being a feline hospice nurse... :}
