THERE YOU ARE!

I thought I had seen a photo of you at fanstory a year or so ago. The same "helvi" ??

I like this idea. It's wonderful and great to put a smiling image to my imagination of you.

I'm trying to come up with a good idea for a portrait. Be watching. ok?

Hugs to you!

    Hi my friend, It wasn't me. This is the first I've put a picture of myself on either of the sites. My anxiety and depression made this a difficult decision because I'm always hiding behind myself. Trouble and I will be dropping over at Fan Story too, with a poem I'm writing about her. No one knows what I look like at FS, so they'll be getting their first peek at me. I'll keep my eyes open for your portrait. Thanks for the kind compliments about my self-portrait. Hugs and Smiles, helvi :o)

This is nicely done, very creative as well, I like the way you have framed the tree on background with its lovely fall colors, so the composition overall. Nice smily face with good view. Enjoyed viewing it. All the best for the contest.

This is very unique and original self-portrait. I admire your idea of this composition and great sense of humor. The objects are closer.... yes, they are. I love the fragment you taken, great tonal blending, very appealing and harmonic. Thank you for sharing

This is so creative, a really clever idea! My suggestion would have been to eliminate the grey area at the bottom. I like the autumn colors in the background, your lighting and focus is very good. Most of all you have such a pretty smile. I like how you are composed in the mirror lol. I do love your creative approach to the contest!

A creative appraoch to self-portraiture with good focus, light and choice of aperture. I think composition could be improved by cropping the tree trunk on the right and some of the car body along the bottom

THis is a very creative version of a self portrait, I like the idea. It would be awesome if the mirror was a little cleaner and maybe show less of the door. I really think it's great though

What a creative way to take a portrait of yourself. You look very happy about it. It is a well designed picture, and very different from ordinary portraits.
