lady nr.2 has dared to show herself :) the curtains look very european am i right? great how your eyes and the wood match!

mtmartini said 556 days ago:

Not Europe, Upstate NY.

Tanja said 556 days ago:

now i didn't make that connection..i just looked at your self portait2 pic with the spider (when was that taken? seems awhile back)...but now looking back at the cowboy one i see it. :)

King said 556 days ago:

How beautiful! Did you have someone stand in for you while you adjusted the camera, etc., or did you just get lucky with the reflection in the window? Was the camera on self-timer? or wireless remote?

I like that face. High marks.

mtmartini said 556 days ago:

Tanja, the spider one was just me messing around, everyone was being so serious at that point and I wanted to have fun.

Ana said 556 days ago:

i like the peaceful and quiet feel to this portrait.

mtmartini said 556 days ago:

King, It was just luck. I used a remote and most of the shots were out of focus.

philippe said 556 days ago:

I like the expression in your eyes.

bslomovic said 556 days ago:

Lovely. Please reveal how you shot this selfie through a window (was it as simple as a remote shutter release, even if, well done!)

mtmartini said 556 days ago:

Brant, it has been so long, you don't recognize me, what is it 15 years? Obviously you didn't see the resemblance to Ky. ;-)

bslomovic said 556 days ago:

Oh no, Tracy. I definitely recognized you! In my state of near total fatigue simply failed to make a personal salutation. But yes, probably about 15 years. And considering I had coffee with K this morning it would be totally embarrassing if I didnt make the connection with the close resemblance ;-)

bslomovic said 556 days ago:

and btw, this is by far my favorite of your self portraits, it really is beautiful. You captured a great expression and the eyes are fantastic!

pursang said 556 days ago:

A haunting image full of emotion.

kadenajack said 556 days ago:

I really like the way you let your natural beauty shine here. This is a very delicate portrayal, handled the way I would want such a photo to be done. I also like the framing created by the glare, the window pane and the curtain. 5's.

Montage said 556 days ago:

A very pensive stare. I like it.

eggplant said 556 days ago:

I like how the eye color matches the window trim color, and the reflection in the glass almost feels like the pattern in the lace curtain.

pretorious said 556 days ago:

Very interesting photo and of the type of composition I highly admire.

George said 556 days ago:

Great one Tracy! Really nicely framed. And you've got such an expressive face here. You seem relaxed and happy...but there's almost something sad in your eyes. Very powerful and well executed portrait. High marks!

gembase said 556 days ago:

wonder if it's not anna ? .. anyway great pic! high marks everywere

gembase said 556 days ago:

damn! I was wrong... sorry tracy. nevertheless, my opinion stays the same, great pic!

uvikidd said 555 days ago:

love the mood .. hi mam :)

uvikidd said 555 days ago:

@gembase .. what's wrong with ana ?? ;)

bslomovic said 555 days ago:

Congrats Tracy, happy this made it to the front page!

Ana said 555 days ago:

*happy dance for Tracy*

kyla said 555 days ago:

Way to go! I didn't rate it when I saw it but really liked it. Well deserved and 25 comments of praise to boot!

George said 555 days ago:

Congrats Tracy! Well deserved!!

CraigMartin said 555 days ago:

Congrats and nice shot Tracy - though you look like you just got out of the pool, have been crying, are suffering from hay fever, or are half into a bottle of wine! Maybe its just the lighting.

kyla said 555 days ago:

if we know tracy - it's the latter (and that would be wine and not lighting!)

kyla said 555 days ago:

and that would be full bottle craig!

King said 555 days ago:

*happy dance pas de deux*

mtmartini said 555 days ago:

OK you two, cut it out, Kyla and Craig that is. Siblings. And just for the record no wine was consumed, prior or during the taking of this photograph. ;-)

Thank you to everyone for their comments, I am very flattered.

VernonTrent said 555 days ago:

:-))))

*dance* *dance* *dance* *dance* *dance*

congrats, tracy

pursang said 555 days ago:

Congratulations Tracy! Looks like Craig and Kyla must know you pretty well! ;-)

philippe said 555 days ago:

I'm glad this one is featured. Congratulations, Tracy.

beckn32 said 555 days ago:

stigwick said 554 days ago:

mtmartini said 554 days ago:

Thanks Heather, I am kind of uncomfortable with all the praise though, but you would know that about me better than most.
