Cool idea and I like the execution - it works fine for me that the blue screen text is a little out of focus.

What a cool shot! I came across it when I looked up camera types (I also use an 8700). So glad I saw it. :)

Self-portrait With Flowers

Thanks for all the comments - I learn from them all. I think this image worked pretty well because it illicited a lot of thoughtful comments and some responses along the lines of what I was trying to accomplish (even some of the criticisms fit in that category since they validate that my goals were met albeit in a backhanded kind of way). One thing I realized reading the comments here was that I sometimes do things for effect which don't work. In this case, it was the glitter in the left eye. I left that in on purpose because, at a larger size, you can see a reflection of my back garden through the window and that intrigued me. At this size, however, it is just distracting. I appreciate it when people take the time to comment and these have all been thoughtful. Thanks to everyone who left comments and thanks to whoever gave me those 9's and 10's! :)
