Well - here I am. I'm 39.5 and have 6 more months till I turn 40.
I'd like to thank Mary Kay cosmetics and the makers of Photoshop for making this picture possible lol. :) My biggest fear is that voters will not think I look like a woman - yipes.
One thing I wanted to do with this was bring more focus to the eyes. I love portraits that seem to make the eyes sharp and everything else kind of fade away. Not quite totally what I envisioned, but it will have to do.

Heh! Love your comments.. And this is a very good portrait! I'd say you very much achieved your goal of focusing on the eyes - they definitely grab the viewer and pull them in - and they're gorgeous eyes, too. Very nice work!
A nice self portrait. Cool posing, actually warm posing. I bet your eyes also very beautiful in color. DOF is a bit too much for me in this photo. I would love to see your lips shining like your eyes as well :)
Me, too! Well, in a year and 2 months. Beats the alternative, as they say ;-) I like the perspective; it makes it feel very much like I'm intruding on an introspective moment.
