Just like Caturday, you have outdone the rest of the field! This is an amazing piece of art. Will fit nicely on a nice frame in any living room.

This is amazing!!! how did you do this my friend?. I love all that this image is, so so creative, it has me sitting here wondering where you were to take the self image and what position you were in form the direction your hair and dress are floating (that sounds terrible but you know what I mean :o) don't float up too high sweetie, it may take you a while to come down to earth! Absolutely awesome girlfriend!

Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
Love the shot... so much fun...
As for going to China... yep... I am anxious to get there... want to know as much culture etc as I can so that one day when we do have our daughter that I can tell her what it is like culture/lifestyle etc where she was born...
That is one reason why I like looking at your photos... to see what it is like and yeah... I have always had an interest in China/Asia... though that is not the reason we are adopting from there.

Very nice self portrait, Kylie. My guess is that it is a composite photo, yes? It looks as if you were relaxing in a chair with your feet up when this was shot, then the image was rotated about 90 degrees. How clever! Nice to meet you.
