Eeeww! It's me...practically lifesize! An "out-of-my-comfort-zone" self portrait that is not just of my feet/legs for a change! :)
According to Wikipedia the world population became 4 billion on my birthday (7/16/1971). I wonder if I was the baby that rolled the odometer? Anyway, I couldn't find 4 billion babies to take a pic of so I naturally opted for glam. :) Glam rock hit it's hayday in 1971 until about 1973 - kind of an odd culture but some cool music - and hey, who doesn't love David Bowie (I mean Ziggy Stardust)!? OK - you don't have to answer that.
Boring detail section: I put on tons of makeup and left over halloween lashes from the sale rack and went outside on a cloudy morning (my favorite light source). Shot in RAW, RAW conversions (highlight, shadow contrast, sharpness, saturation,). Elements - levels, brightness/contrast, hue saturation, selective color, unsharp mask, neat image, stroke, save for web.

"TOPS" in my book, and once again, you have proved you are a great photographer.....
Great image Amy and a great result.....
One of your personal dreams of trying to do better with portraits, is definately coming true.....
You just "rock" girl.....
wow...beautiful inside and out! awesome shot. Thank gawd I'z only 7 when you were born and didn't have to do the 'lashes' thing..whewwwww...even though your picture makes it look kinda fun! beautiful colors...nice job :-) and what a killer score for you AND the team..wooohooo! congrats!
Top shot, great idea, fantastic colour. black background/forground only enhances the subject.
Can you believe I used to wear similar lashes in the 70's eeewwwwww
Title and subject entirely appropriate. Nice composition. Maybe not enough "happening" to tell a story...this could be a 2006 fashion beastie reliving the Abba days?
