Self portrait. Scary. I am definitely not a model or an actress - my smile looks ridiculous!

I asked my brother to critique this and he said that I should reshoot outside and pretend that I'm trying to stop the wind blowing my headscarf off, but up the cheese/camp factor, and smile like I'm deranged.

Hmm... might have a go before rollover to see how that looks, but seriously, I'm no actor :)

I suspect this entry will stand ;P

I say "Bah!" at your notes. I love your smile and you have as much model quality as most anything I've seen. Sure, I don't get out much, but still. :-) Great job on both sides of the camera!

Great lighting and outfit - I'm not completely sure about the brick wall - but still a nice picture.

Italy, Vespa, Marcello Mastroianni, La Dolce Vita... these are the connections I make when looking at this photo
