Post Challenge: Now I look at it, the pose could really have used some work. This comes accross like a snap-shot, at best. Nothing like self-critique! :)

Well thanks for the compliments. I completely agree -- the face should have at least been visible. Having the camera up there does nothing to add to the photo at all.
Interestingly, I voted 1's for over 60% of the Portrait challenge entries. They all look so fake. The winners might have well have been airbrushes of computer generated images IHMO. Very dissappointed in the human race over this frankly.
Of over 88,000 voters in the challenge, it would appear only myself and one or two others (literally!) share the same view to the degree I do. Wow. Don't *I* feel special! :)
Here I sit staring at my tiny little Nikon Coolpix 4800 and then I see this...I now have camera envy :::sigh::: Nice portrait of a photographer. I like the lighting and colors....and I still have camera envy :::heavier sigh::: :-)
I like the idea... I just wish I could see her face. How would you do that? I dunno... hold the camera down like you're about to use it? Or maybe put the camera on the other eye? Something.
