		| Disaster?  In what way?!?  I think this is amazing.  In fact, my first thought was "wow, who got to paint the stripes on?" ;) |

 Exactly what I was thinking after reading your description. Diane, your pics are always clean, crisp, in focus and all the technical things are done perfectly. More than that there is a definite style and fun to your pics. I just love them! But yeah, take a break. When you come back you might have something pop into your head that you missed before. Happens to me ALL THE TIME!
 
 And I love the light coming up under you chin and neck. Great processing no matter what you say. LOL |

		| Rather cool to me. FUN to push the envelope.  I wonder if the background were more white or maybe play with desaturation of black in the neutral areas. |

		| You obviously worked on this a lot, as we can still see the freckles on your left arm (meaning you didn't just slap a layer on top of this...  Disaster?  No such thing here! |

		Whuh?? Disaster?? HAHA! You must be a perfectionist! I can relate! I gotta tell ya though, I love this. Did you make the pattern freehand? Excellent job! Stop beating yourself up. :)
 
 edit to add that I forgot to mention the caption that immediately popped into my head when I saw this: "Ok Zebra Girl, drop the weapon and put your hands up!" hahahaha. :) Ok, I know it sucks - a disaster even - but I am sick of coming up with captions tonight. ;-) Just ribbin ya. Smile. :)

		Terrific, and that was done in PS? 
 Maybe post-processing would be easier if you used a little body paint! |

		| Very unique. I'll bet that is an arduous task to paint all those stripes. Were you using a layer with a blend mode set to "Color" to preserve the highlights and shadows on your skin? |
