 I hope my hair forgives me for how much hairspray I had to put in it to tease it that high! I walked around the house for a bit after and called it my Big Texas hair. :)

Geez, I thought you had a professional model. Now I find out it's the photographer. It must be good to be you. For the record this shot was practically unbeatable.

One of my top two - defines fill the frame for me and the focus and clarity are excellent. I'm not a fan of the very smooth processing on the skin, but it's perfect for the look here. 10 Voted earlier - back to comment.

Absolutely awesome pose! I can't say enough about how good this shot is. It's going to take a lot to beat this. A "10" all the way! Good for you.
