In your face!

You are turning out some stellar work my friend! Wonderful image, and that last edit nails it!

Thanks John. I've been trying to figure out why... I suspect the answer is partly that the last couple of shoots have been volunteer models with no real agenda and that my only agenda has been art and getting the most out of the activity I love. No rush to churn out the images for a deadline and no stress about giving a subject their money's worth: it's very liberating to work like that. Being a pensioner has its advantages!

oooooohhhh ... square!

And those RED lips ... amazing.

The square crop was a great suggestion, thanks!
I can't take credit for the lips, all I did to them was add a little "moistening" in PP.
