Cleo looks beautiful Lorraine - I see what you mean about Cleopatra! I like your processing on this one by the way - those highlights in the sky act as a good balance to the darkness of her hair.

Ron from Saint Louis, United States
Superb shot, Lorraine! Cleo's beauty is beautifully framed by the strong vertical and horizontal lines in the windows in the background! The B&W was a superb choice!

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
Beautiful profile, indeed! She might have a story to tell being of the Cleopatra clan! I like the presence of the leaves, they give accent to the composition.
23 May 2008 3:16pm
