 I offer thanks to those before me
Thats all I've got to say
'cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime
Now I have to pay
But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration
To let the next life off the hook
But she'll say look what I had to overcome from my last life
I think I'll write a book

How long till my soul gets it right
Can any human being ever reach the highest light
Except for galileo God rest his soul
(except for the resting soul of galileo)
King of night vision, king of insight

-Indigo Girls

I expected this to have finished much higher. A capture that easily lives outside the challenge.

As always Jen, you did yourself proud... and me too as an avid fan of yours. Always a treat to see what you do next and I think you captured your essence perfectly. :)

Does that mean we have to do this all over again (and again...)? Isn't being a part of this site enough punishment? Oh well, as long as I get to look at photos like these I guess it's not so bad :) Love the focus! And, the lighting, too.

lighting looks fine here, the dark part at the right is good! I do feel the photo is a bit too much processed, or maybe NI?

This is the fav. of the challenge for me. I like the framing with the visible eye not in the center of the frame. Nicely proportioned to me. I don't have anything negative to saw about it. Good luck.
