    You do have to love the 'bystander' sign/definition right above the guy sitting in the background, though....

    Are you saying 'old age is terrifying'? I think she is beautiful. WOuld have loved to seen her in her younger years! :D

    She seems, to me, very open and inviting. Or is it the 'saturation' of colors, again? eek7.gif

    #1 is awesome. The texture of her skin is so pronounced, and the posters are almost like windows with more faces. The colors are diverse; the distracted opposing men really make the image for me.

    Saturation, blue freaking nails, bad dye job....all of which is made so striking by the saturation...Nice smile, and yes, she does have a nice face...Nothing wrong with getting old.....rolleyes1.gif

    I am glad you took that the light hearted way I meant it! thumb.gif

    And, yes, for this situation, the saturation is over the top. Might be much better, understated, muted, even.

    OK, I guess I was mean to her. BD taught me to be honest, but he didn't necessarily teach me not to be mean. She didn't deserve it, but I was ornery. I'll rethink it.

    Nah, you're not mean. A little gruff sometimes, maybe. But not mean.:toni rolleyes1.gif

    Rutt, I wonder how she'd look if you gave her the same B&W treatment as the others. I'm also curious about your role at this meeting. Are you a practicing PJist?

    Actually this was two separate civics events. The first is at the polling place for a preliminary mayoral election. The B&Ws are from a meeting or the Parks and Rec Committee at town hall. Off leash dog runs are an extremely emotional topic around here just now, and that's what was on the agenda.

    And no, thanks for the compliment, but I'm not a professional PJ.
