 My self portrait
Fluffy refers to my size - Bear - which I made from a wool coat
Wrinkled refers to my age - unpainted plastered wall - I seldom wear make-up
Worn - tired from working - chair - and my love of antiques
Border - my creative spirit - (I know they don't do well on dpc but I like it)

I really like this. Just hope you don't get DQ'd on that border. Some might consider it a vignette.

My daughter and I were looking through here and we both at the same time said "Wow that looks like something you might put on the wall in a childs room!" Wonderful picture!

I have a feeling this border is illegal.

The background looks photoshopped especially where the texture turns into pure white. along with the front leg of the chair on the viewer's left disappears and blends into the wall. It is possible you added texture to a section of wall, but can't figure out an explanation for the chair. The lighting is great and well balanced. I am going to ask for a validation in hopes that it is legal and you can get the "This image has been validated" text added to your image so that others will not think they should vote you down for improper editing(even though this is frowned upon). 7

I like this shot a lot. The lighting is really nice, the composition is really nice, and I usually hate wacky borders but for some reason I feel like this works here.
