Here I am, deviated septum and all.
This was the first portrait I did from a photo, rather than looking in the mirror ... It's certainly "easier," and judging by comments from people who know me, a better likeness than I've achieved heretofore.
But there is a certain detachment that creeps in, looking at a static image.

Hi Laura,

I don't know what a deviated septum is but you look great.

Take care,

Barbara

No, I don't see a deviation - lovely photo and its so nice to see you! I think in the self-portrait you look like you're staring into distant horizons - about to sail forth perhaps? Beautiful soft colours - what is that blue to the left of your neck?

Nice to see you up close. It's been quite awhile since I tried a self portrait from a photo. Maybe it's time I tried again. It would have to be better than the mirror ones I have done.
