yes, that is a painting like photo lovely light and the third crop does it for me
faceted stones and cracked mirrors...a buddhist monk in exile from tibet once told me to love the cracks, "they are perfect" he said...I believed him and the world changed around me like Alices wonderful world.
I love rubies...and sometimes a ruby or emerald or amethyst or garnet (yummmm, no diamond can quench the hunger for garnet) is what is NEEDED wanted, loved and desired in all it's perfection... love your awareness of all that here must be the wisdom of your age! Yaye 50! you made it!

thanks so much for your words! -i appreciate your vote on which crop. the third one was my first instinct. then i started flopping around.
interesting what the buddhist monk told you about cracks. when i was younger (still working in clay) i did a series of "crack studies" where i implanted objects into the clay before firing to see how the clay would crack. i loved the cracks. they were visually interesting and meaningful somehow.
i love rubies too. and turquoises. if i lived life by my diamond standard, i might have to throw my rubies and turquoises out. ttyl. s

It's a tough decision but I think the third crop is also my favorite. Your model is beautiful and I like the way her face looks, partly in shadow. When I look at this -- and at the photos on your website -- I get an urge to listen to This Mortal Coil. It evokes the same sort of feeling.
Not sure if I am making sense of making a fool of myself but that's the best way I know of (at the moment, at least) to put it.

i'm going with the third one. it was my first instinct and it seems like most people's favorite.
you are NOT making a fool of yourself. i know "this mortal coil's" music. and i completely agree with what you're saying here.
