 There's been enough pics of my face so on to something else. Actually I knew I was not going to have a lot of time to edit today so I just went with something simple.

You are about to see what strange ways my mind digresses: I was tossing around ideas for fallen and one involved taking pictures of feet. So then I started thinking about ballerina shots where you see them dancing on their tip-toes. So I started playing around with that. Let's just say I don't go very far on my tip-toes and I do see now that my feet ain't pretty and one of my toes is too long lol. Actually I have no idea how those people get up on their toes like that but I do admire them for it!

Oh to do the editing I ended up downloading Virtual Photographer (after having seen photokariangel's work) and it's pretty cool.

So ta da.. continuing my streak of not looking at the lens while taking a picture :D

This is the photo that I have now broken my beloved 50-200 lens on boo hoo. When I walked past the tripod I knocked it over and watched it fall on the carpet. I thought it would be ok but it died the next day :(

Reminds me of Titanic. I like the simplicity of this shot. The flooring is really nice.

I like feet (and hands), they're almost more personal than a face.

Well done.

Beautiful light and a pose and process that conveys the worlds of make believe and what if. And now, the DPC critique... OMIGOD THERE'S A BLOWN HIGHLIGHT ON YOUR FOOT! What were you thinking?? :-)

Terrific light. I like the pattern of the floor with the simplicity of your bare feet. :~)

This is VERY cool. I like the lines on the floor crossing at your toe. Very nice attention to detail :)

I love this! It's so delicate and feminine. The flooring is perfect and I like the lighting, but do wish there was a tad more detail in the shadows. I reallyreallyreallyreally like this :)
