		| | Thank you to everybody who commented. You were all very generous! This was my first entry and I tried twice to de-enter this but I'm glad I kept it in because your suggestions and critiques are invaluable. You asked the questions: 
 Can she cook? No
 Can I get her number? No
 Alansfreed: Yep! LOL
 Looking good is hard -- sometimes impossible -- hope we never have a "self portrait" challenge.
 Her father painted the big flower on the wall, thank you.
 The blouse isn't fuzzy. Must be my shakey hand.
 
 Thank you again to everybody. I think with some PS trickery I can add this to my album.
 Jo Ann

		| | Nice painted background. Perhaps  you could have moved a little left while taking the picture, and zoomed a little bit on the top ( to avoid the yellow on the top and the right). |

		| | Good photo.  Parts of me like the hair in front of the face (adds some mystery), while the rest of me says show the face.  Is the blouse made of a fuzzy materiel?  Most of the photo looks fairly crisp, except for the blouse.  8 Swash |

		| | Nice shot!  Good lighting on her and her reflection without catching any flash glare. |

		| | Girls and their hair stuff.  I think I have that Good Shepherd picture somewhere around my house too.   Did she paint that picture of the big flower.  It's pretty good. |

		| | mood captured - they always get it to look so good on TV, it can't be that hard, can it? sincerity of expressions - good

		| | I like the concept, and she does look like someone who doesn't need to do much to herself to look good :)  I think there are a few too many distractions, though, like the image taped to the mirror (I'll probably go to hell for suggesting that it not be included...).  Great concept, though. |

		| | I like the reflection, and the colors.  Decent composition, etc.   The only thing I can suggest is that  it'd be better if she was having a different expression or turn slightly to the right so her face can be seen in the reflection.  I like it -- it keeps me wanting to look at the mirror.   Oh yeah, one more thing:  Can I get her number? :-)  Just kidding.  7.5 = "8"  paganini |
