    Em, I would stick with #1 if it was my decision. Very well done glamour shot. #2 seems a trifle over exposed. #3 would be the choice if you were trying to recreate a still shot from a movie though. So I guess your delimma(sp?) is over #1 vs. #3. Glamour (actress promotion) vs. Movie Still (film promotion). Whichever way you go, I can't see anything technically that needs to be improved upon. Nice work, as usual.

    Wonderful shots right out of the 40's. ## 1 and 3 are my favs and I don't think you will go wrong with either. I like #2 as well but the almost direct gaze gives it a more modern feel and there is something about the pout that looks more disgruntled than sexy.

    Glad you didn't enter one of these in the low key challenge. rolleyes1.gifReally, really nicely done.

    Thanks all. I guess since #1 was my favorite for this too, I'll just stick with that. Amazing how any old trollop can be made to look glam (in other words, "Oui, c'est moi"). lol3.gif Seriously though, I am so thankful to be back playing again. I had so much fun with this one and learned a bunch too. And that, my friends, is what it's all about. thumb.gif:Diloveyou.gif

    Very Pretty
    Hi..

    I love these..

    I love the eyes and hair in number 1 and the face and mood in number 3..

    I agree with others though, if ya have to choose, then number 1 is strongest. love the eyes and the way the earring is lit up perfectly complimenting the face..

    very nice work..rolleyes1.gif

    Just fantastic, Em, and yes you DO look amazing (looks like you had a ball with curlers and eyelashes getting dolled up for this one - GREAT GREAT job on the makeup, which isn't the easiest to recreate!)clap.gif

    I agree that #1 is the strongest and you should stick with it. thumb.gif

    AWESOME! #1 or 3. #3 has the bare shoulder with the glow that is is very 1940's. The lighting on her face in #1 is wonderful. Overall, I like #1! Beautiful!!!!

    #1 for me too; I don't like the fact that she's looking right in the camera on #2, and I don't like the shadows on #3.

    Absolutely stick with #1. nod.gif

    The lighting on her face is spot-on. Also the upward glance of her eyes looks really cool and reminds of some of those old starlet poses.
