 you ALWAYS impress with the images you capture....expressive and beautiful!...with an added EDGE to some!  (pardon the pun)

for some reason can't see the first image posted

Lucy has a somewhat sinister look holding that short sword.  

Mimi looks great in the XMAS getup....although I feel she gets a bit lost in the red on red velvet shots.  The one of her with the white background is quite an eye catcher!  Very Classy style (imho)

Apnea...well...the lighting, color and the EYES....just draw ya in!  

thx for the added info!
