In The Picture - March challenge

This month's  In The Picture  self-portrait theme is 'black and white'.  For me this means I can muck around with my image in PhotoShop.


"...and the mirror cracked"

Altered images are soooo flattering compared to those straight from the camera. This was taken in a friend's artfully cracked mirror.

I did try to take another, while lying on my back with a tiny plastic apple balanced on my eye....


"The Apple Of My Eye"

... but I couldn't stop giggling and the apple kept rolling out.

Oh well, at least I fulfilled the brief.

  6. The image of you in the mirror is quite striking. There's a sort of contemplative look and a feeling (very slight) of sadness to it. Quite the contrast to the apple shot! Fun stuff from you.
