I like the middle shot the best, personally. Reminds me of that famous National Geographic cover.

Yup, the "Afghan Girl" revisited. I especially like the wide range of colors in that shot. Can we see a close-up of her eyes?

Yes Michele & Jean - I like that one also. I guess you two dont find a problem with the fact that she isnt of any decent that would naturally wear something like that?

Thanks Terri - in lieu of flowers for the funeral, send money.

I like the one you mentioned also - I just wish her eyes were looking a little higher. I have the same shot with her looking directly at me, but it isnt the same feeling.

Jean - here are her gorgeous eyes and beneath that a shot I took when we were working on the No Evil shot...such a gorgeous face I knew I wanted to use her again.

So no one particularly liked the last one of the girl from today? It's slightly creepy in a Blair Witch Project sort of way....but I'm personally really drawn to this one. As a figurative of course - no one would pay me to paint them looking like this. Im just in love with the vines outside that window and the peeling paint. I seem to be finding I am drawn to real old-looking wood or other textures in the backgrounds. I was at this gorgeous hotel downtown and managed to find one back hallway that wasn't newly painted.

Ms. Dow of the Davis Mountains,

I too like the girl with the scarf on her head. I did a couple like that last year.

As I look at it I wonder if it wouldn't be more powerful without the sleeve on her arm? To me it adds an unnecessary, and unexplained component to what could be a dynamite red green color balance.

My condolences regarding your rooster. I've also suffered a recent loss. I found Puffy, my pet blow fish, dead on the beach this weekend. I had brought him all the way from Tulsa. It was his dream to return to the sea (gulf). I suppose like myself, all those years in captivity had made him soft.

Kim, I like that one too, I see what you see.

Mr. McCarty-beachcomber-

Your right - that arm doesnt need to be there, good call. My sincere condolences on your friend. Umm, is that ice on him? He looks frozen. You didn't pack him in ice for the trip did you?

Mary - thank you! Someone HAD to agree with me.

I think the hand could be a nice touch, only without the material sleeve.

I let him ride in the gas tank on the way down. He never seemed the same after that.
