Very nice! Would you share how you set up the shot? Laurabella is seeking advice on self portaits. I could also use some tips. Thanks!

I like it, very nice. Especially considering it was taken with a point and shoot. Proof that it's not just about the gear

I just used my bedroom lighting, and a night stand to put the camera on it and played around with a few poses and ended up loving a few of the poses!

Pretty simple set-up but terrific results. I also loved the images on your Flickr site. Do you plan on pursuing a career in photography? You certainly have the talent and a great start. Keep up the great work.

Great image. If you wouldn't mind, please also post it in this thread as it could sure use the boost.
