For what it is your technique and framing are well executed. Headshots, generally arent too spectacular, but thats not always necessary for artwork and so I rate this a deserved 5 stars.

Your stories, Debbie, are fabulous... have ya had time yet to check out fanstory? I like this shot of Myrna with the exception of the glare off her glasses.

Thank you so much angel!! Not yet, all I can do to keep up with one posting a day and make time to seriously review to promote is about all I have time for right now, but am very interested in fanstory. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!

LowRider, The story is Willy. This image does not tell the story. I would love to see photos of Willy to complete this documentary.
A documentary has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Willy would add great
interest since the story is about him. I look forward to the continuing saga.

As I said, in the start of story, please see 'Introducing Willy' in my portfolio. That is the beginning of the story. It bothers me that so many just 'review' and not pay total attention to what they are actually reviewing. I certainly and never would want to come forward as 'disrespectful', but I feel it is imperative that we review, all the author has put in front of us, not just to get member dollars etc. Please, efoto, check out 'Introducing Willy' in my portfolio, then read again, 'Talkin' About Willy'---You will understand exactly what I am talking about. It is forever draining to work so hard and people not 'get it', because they don't take time. Please send private message and rebut, I am very open minded and so appreciate of your work, but am a bit dissappointed of the words in your review, don't care about ratings. Please efoto, give this response some attention! Thank you, again, certainly no disrespect to you!!!!!!!!!! Low

Comment from Peggy Micham
The photo is nice, but the story that goes with it is awesome. Just goes to show that we shouldn't judge people by their covers. How many stories just like this have we missed because we don't bother to take the time to talk to someone. Thanks for sharing this. Peg

Comment from mtdew_hawaii
The photo of Myrna is very nice. I even like the reflection in her glasses. After reading about how long she's lived there, the reflection is almost like she always looking over the town.


P.S. Tell Willy "Hello" from some of his fans on here. And that we would like another photo of him. :)

Love the story with the picture. You got quite a good portrait going here. The only distraction is her glasses and their reflections. I know it is the way she looked, but try to get them off or looking the other way.
