you have some kind of secretary-look on your face like this ;)

too abd the paper / magazine isn't a bit sharper, hard to see what the white thing is exactly.

Interesting soft focus effect. Overexposing the light skin color sets it off well against the red hair.

I thought this was funny. I love how the title really goes with the photo. This photo made me smile, as I always hear my relatives saying the same thing. I love how the light is on your face too, which is where you want the viewer to look. Great Job!

...go straight to trifocals, it'll save time.

A very nice study with great glitter accents like on the eyes, the eyeglass lens, the frame, the jewelry and then the lips. All very well accented to make this lovely portrait come to life. Bump.

You make needing bifocals look hot! I think this is a beautiful photo.

Cutting the eyeballs with the edge of glasses is unfortunate.

I find it very interesting to see what people chose to do for their self portraits. It can tell a lot about a person. You, clearly, are in need of bifocals. :)

I can so relate - only I have to lift mine up and look under 'em. The softness is perfect and the OOF paper in your hand really works well to convey the need for bifocals.

Well, maybe you need bifocals. . .but your eyes are certainly good enough to nail this portrait :) Great job!!!

Heh. Just got my first set of glasses. I feel for you. I like the composition with the out of focus page. Could be a bit sharper, but then I'm not actually wearing my glasses.
