Hi Aster, like the others I shall say welcome too, but as usual I'm coming late to the party. I like your self portrait, and I think the long shot of the hall/corridor has a certain mystique, as has your off centre, slightly out of focus, 'pretty miss' look! Perhaps there is something missing, perhaps not. In some ways the left part of the image looks to be part of a different photograph altogether, yet with your inclusion on the right, the whole comes together well for me in a rather off-beat way. As the others have said, it depends on what you are trying to achieve. (Italics because these things can be very subjective) Keep posting more please....BTW ~ Slynky's really an angel in wolf's clothing and Bonbon is an angel in angel's clothing. Everyone here is really rather nice, except for me and I'm very very bad! (grrrrrowl) (oh, and Jordy's a bit bonkers, but really a nice fella too) :-)>
