Self Portrait
When you're 46, it's hard not to avail yourself of a filter! ;-)
If you saw me in real life you'd realize how good this portrait is.
I look 25 in my dreams only but I love Samrath and Suby for their lies.
I took this in my room and the light is coming from the window. I decided to embark on a series of self portraits because I hate having my picture taken and because I am getting older. For me I hope this will help me to see that there is beauty in aging. If, like Chantal says, you can see my personality here, then I am succeeding!

A lovely self portrait. I always do my self portraits in b&w. It is more forgiving. I might try a color version with the soft/warming filter on the lens. ;o)
Very nice self portrait. I hate taking pictures of myself, and I seem to hate having my picture taken.
You sure this is a picture of a 46 year old woman and not one of 25yrs?
I like the composition, why is there so much light coming from the left?

Creative self-portrait! I agree with Suby. Are you sure you are not 25 ?
Self portraits are damningly tough...beautifully taken, must agree with the subster, do not see signs of 46 here....excellent lighting...8.5/10

Awesome, Robin.....the light is perfect, your angle is unique, and shows off your brilliant personality...love it! :)
pas si facile à faire un auto portrait!

Aha! You have discovered the trick to reverse aging: look up at the camera, not down! (I didn't learn this gem of wisdom until last year on my 50th birthday.) Excellent portrait, by the way.
I know we all (the once past 40) want to look younger and we just miss to see the beauty of the maturity and wisdom. For me a woman’s beauty goes together with her maturity, her wisdom and her owning of the goddess. And this is what I see when I look at your portrait.
Would you like to look like 25 and have the experience of a 25 year old? If you allow me to answer for you, I’d say “I don’t think so”! it is actually just perfect how it is. I am who I am and that’s just it.
On the other hand I can feel your spirit and this is age less, it has eternal youth. This is something I do have difficulties myself, growing older and feel the age less spirit and yet I feel that it is so important to own where I am just now in my life.
Thank you for posting your beautiful portrait, thank you for having the courage to be who you are

Beauty equals so many different things. You are a brave person to embark on your project, photographers rarely seem to turn the camera on themselves but if this is a sample of what we can expect then the whole series will be wonderful. It's a beautiful shot. Phil
It's all about how you feel, not the arbitrary birth date on your license! Beautiful shot!
