You Wickedly Clever, clever Woman! This is a well thought out composition. The background is like a page from your diary, the mirror is very sexy with the handle being a nude woman with her back towards us holding the mirror. I love it!
Then we have the Then and now Classy Annie I adore.
I read some quotes on rules of a lady. My favorite one is,
The only person you need to compare yourself to is who you have been. The only person you need to be better than is who you are now.
Cara Mia, you are a true Lady that I have learned much from.
So I happen to like the Silver foxy lady you are now. You have taught me that there is a fine line between being honest and being rude..NEVER confuse the two.
You are a class act and I love your wisdom, humor and amazing talent with a camera and a digital darkroom.
SUPERBULOUS work!
Sokkene Av!♥♥♥♥♥👏👏👏👏

    I am indeed happy you like my selfie. I had to take quite a few shots, because I don't have a remote control. Thank you so very much for the lovely review and for the 6 stars.

Amazing photography! I love the composition, the idea behind the photography. I like the colors and the background, as well as the colors on the reflection in the mirror that contrast the grey of the woman holding the mirror. Thanks for sharing

You captured it exactly the way itīs experienced. You look at yourself in the mirror and canīt believe so you self-photoshop the image :) Very creative work. Highly expressive. Nice tones in the hair. Great work!

How wonderfully creative, Annie. My favorite part is that the newer photo that one would expect to be in color is in B&W and the older photo that could more likely be in B&W is in color. Neat. All your technical expertise is vividly evident in creating this wonderful and original selfie. Excellent.

This is such a great depiction of the aging process, The physical body changes but our mind still wants to think of ourselves the way we were. What an awesome image. Great composition and framing. Awesome focus and DOF. Great colour and lighting. Superb work.

Very nice composition. I love the placement /crop. This is how we all feel. Young one day and older way to quickly. Thank You for sharing.

Comment from Barb Baker


This is an absolutely stunning piece of artwork. When I first saw it, it reminded me of myself since I am approaching my 68th birthday. I can identify with the lady in this portrait, wishing I were young again..
I love the way that you have used two different medias in one piece. Both are superb works on their own. The background is so detailed in the writings that she has evidently received in her youth.
Great attention to detail.
I love the use of the mirror.
This is such a unique piece I just can't say enough great things about it. Thank you so much Annie for sharing. I definitely am giving you 6 stars on this piece. Love, love love it!I cannot tell you that it needs work in any particular area because I think it is perfect the way that it is!!

Nothing ever becomes real until it is experienced ? even a proverb is no proverb to you until your life has illustrated it. (John Keats) Thank you for sharing your life through your own experiences f life itself.
Such is the aging process and the excellence of your art is from those many experiences between the beauty of youth and the wisdom of experience. Happy 28th birthday (wink) The essence of Self is creativity which obviously is timeless and you model and guide us with such beauty. Kindest and Happy thoughts this day and every day your way! tom

    Thank you Tom. Now I am actually finished with answering about 400 reviews. It took me forever. The punishment for having a great time. LOL
