Yes, this is Melethia's Susan. The Susan she got from NikonJeb. The Susan that really gets around...
Taken during a wonderful weekend in Carmel with Deb, Bear_Music, and PennyClick, I was despairing of a lack of entry for Color on Color. Then I noticed the incredibly red wall, and Susan lying on her side, completely ignored until that morning. I ran to my suitcase and rejoiced at having a top that would work. Then I set her up against the wall, took about 5 shots. Edited on my laptop with old versions of my usual software - and 3 DPCers looking over my shoulder...
Fortunately, Susan is naturally beautiful and didn't require much editing at all.

i'm a little puzzled as to why this didn't rate a bit higher (at least low 6's). color, composition, sharpness, mood, great lighting, it all seems to be there. mmmm (tapping chin)
I really like the composition and light in this shot. Wonderful red lipstick against the red wall. Ha ha, Susan always has such a photogenic expression.
LOL! I thought this was Deb's! Excellent color matching! Love how she even has a bit of catch light in her eyes, giving her an almost alive appearance.
