Dear Misha, I do feel welcomed. Thanks for that. I sent this image to some friends, who know I wear glasses and are used to a happy face. They considered it "serious" compared to the me they know. I guess that is correct. I will try some black and white stuff and see what happens. BTW, the lighting is natural. Trees block the sun and at a certain time in the evening just a bit shows through..a beam here and there. That is the lighting used. The pic is unretouched; I thought that best considering my question. Thanks so much for the reply. God Bless. TomD'Art
