Just foolin' around in the bathroom mirror... Created in PS Elements 5 as an animated gif file. Loads of fun to make. Please be patient while the file downloads. It's 1.5 meg.
Ok so here is the list of things I love about this...
1. your ring is on your pinky finger
2. your hands are beautiful
3. identifiable parts of your face are obscured by the camera. we don't know you, but you're pouring your heart out for us.... Brilliant
4. the flash is in the middle like a zen state of perfection.
That being said, it DOES get me dizzy so i can't look for too long. I watched this unfold with dial up, so I saw each frame much more fragmented than how you intended it. I kind of like the slower pace, personally, but the title wouldn't make sense then, would it? Regardless, I think this is inventive, fun, and it has everything that a great self portrait could ever have.
Artist Reply: Thank you so much for you wonderful critique. The ring is left over from my days as a hippie when I wore lots more. (many many moons ago)
