this is AWESOME ..
and thankyou so much for your detailed account of how you got this shot .. including your camera settings .. :)
i am literally blown away by your abilities .. getting this in minimal is an incredible achievement .. the focus and everything .. nailing it Larry ..
so close up .. so stunningly shiny ..
its just beautiful ..
not sure about the seven 4's .. this totally satisfies the challenge .. and then some .. :)

what a lovely portrait ..
i'm loving the welcoming smile ..
love the softness especially as a lot of the photos i've seen of you have a lot of structure ..
this must be a portrait that portrays your softer side .. !! ..
good one . :)

this is dramatic .. with impact ..
love the way your fingers and the background window/slats bring this together .. there's a word for that which i cant remember right now .. :(
the more i look at this the more i see ..
are there snowy mountains i see thru the window .. :)

just me

hahahahahaha ..
this not only is a great photo .. but has so much going for it too .
your own unique and individual style .
where you are able to combine humour, quirkyness and fun into your challenge entries ... this has all that and more ..
what's interesting is that those eyes totally transform your face ..
a first i wasnt sure this was a LydiaLydia .. hahaha ..
then reason prevailed .. and i came to my senses ..
particularly loving your t-shirt .. life is good .. and i feel from everything i know of you that that is truly your take on life ..
which makes this real ..
ribbon for sure .. in my reality .. altho having said that there are three or four others i feel should ribbon too .. seems there's a dearth of ribbons for this challenge .. :)

nothing anonymous about this pic .
it has your brilliant black and white editing style ..
the way your portraits have such impact ..
and that added indefinable something .. :)

also i just want to add ..
i've been wanting to do a portrait with the light coming thru blinds for a long long time .. never get anyone to pose for me .. they're always too busy and dont want to spare 5 - 10 minutes ..:(
and unfortunately a self portrait wouldnt be as aesthetically pleasing as a photograph of a more attractive individual .
you are very lucky in that respect .. you have a very good looking face ... :)

Yes, that is me and all about me
