i could wish you belated birthday wishes, or be ultra-early for this year :)
either way, i really like this portrait. subdued, like you're in the depths of a dream.

Hummm, well Phil, I don't know why I like to hide myself behind the diffusion layers ;-) This time I did it exclusively following an aesthetic feeling and while I played with the photo in Photoshop I loved the feeling I got from this light version of me.
Of course I admit that beyond the initial "I like it like this a lot" maybe there was also the feeling of wanting to hide my "years" behind the veil... I really took this one on my birthday, in the morning and I was thinking... wow! I've been around for a while now, where did the time go??? So, I guess that the pp work I've done reflects those feelings also... I was hidding behind the pp work, but my emotions were very clear.
Thank you Phil. Thank you to all of you that left their comments here (Ira, Marijka, Marisa, dear Guest, Iannis and "j" guest", they are of course extremelly important to me!!!

opps, I meant to say "real flesh and blood person." Sorry.

How could I have missed this one, Ana? It has the makings of a spectacular portrait, rich in feeling and character. Although you are still reluctant to present yourself as a real flesh and person -- why must you hide behind these layers of symbolic diffusion? You are at your best when you summon the courage to face the world as you really should -- a beautiful, accomplished, and self confident human being.

A dream state. Very nicely designed and executed.
Sensual yet... modest.
