..... and not a grey hair in sight. You're wearing well!

And I like your Nonac camera.

And, just as an afterthought .......

Knowing the role that photography took on as you danced that little dance, that is a magnificent self-portrait that shows and tells us more about you than a 1000 words could ever do. Brilliant. It's a story, not just a picture.

Thank you Donald.

A friend reversed the Nonac and said I should use it as advertising...for Canon.....................

Oh, of course. You start getting a SAGA magazine now. They haven't found me yet.

For those from the rest of the world reading quizzically, Saga is an organisation originally established to cater for the, er um, more mature persons (old folks) in our society. They've been working hard over the last few years to change their image and try and appeal to the younger end of the mature market. And over-50s can subscribe to their magazine, book holidays/vacations etc etc.

You are far better looking than I, desipte the Nonac camera hiding your face. I wish you the best in everything!

[Daisy Mae]

Acht...ye wanna see what's under the Nonac.

Phantom of the Opera! xx

Best self portrait I've ever seen - love the colours and the softness of the shot.

Well done.

I think it is an amazingly interesting portrait; I don't know what you've done but it is really good.

Wonderful portrait and great processing - an inspirational picture and resume! Gillie

This is really a great selfportrait, Sharon!
Really stunning!
It's not a quick snap shot but if gives a very well thought impression.

[Daisy Mae]

I am incredibly touched by all of your comments, you are extremely generous.

Colin, I think that is the best compliment I have ever had or am ever likely to recieve and I thank you.

Hi Sharon,
I really do not know where you get these great ideas from, but I love them. I could have thought for a hundred years, about how I would take my own self-portrait and never have come up with something this good.
I can't put into word how good I think this picture is; so can I just send you some smiley faces; to try and show the smile on my face.
Well done.

[Ollokot]

Absolutely Brilliant, I don't think there are words to give it justice,just the sense and feeling one gets when viewing such a marvellous image,
Best Wishes,
Pat

Hi John,

I think with self portraits you define what's important to YOU and emphasise that....

My OH hates this because my face is obscured...each to his own and thanks for the smileys.

[Plumcrak]

Absolutely stunning. Well done.

[Colin Southern]

Colin, I think that is the best compliment I have ever had or am ever likely to recieve and I thank you.

You're very welcome Sharon

On the other hand, we DO need to work on your camera holding technique though!

Yep, I thought that, but was too polite to say so!! We need to get that left hand cradling, not grabbing.

Just for the record, I wasn't being too serious though

Beautifully done, Sharon.

[Daisy Mae]

Thank you Maja.

Are you guys suggesting I abandon my trusty Vulcan death grip technique???? Next you will be telling me I can breathe while takibng the shot or some other whacky idea!
