Hiding in the Stripes

It was between this and another bird shot. I don't get out much in the winter...too freakin' cold!

Happy weekend! And thank you soooo much for your support that got me a very surprising week with 2 shots in the top 20. Nutty, as I really wasn't expecting one let alone two. There are weeks that I expect it and get nothing and ones where I am pleasantly surprised. I prefer the surprise. It's cool, though, because I made it somewhat of a goal to make a double TT and it was seeming very unobtainable. I also had a goal of winning the main theme and I recently did. I need some new goals. Maybe it needs to be to make some money off of photography. That would be awesome!
Cool shot !!

Beautiful.

Beautiful lines and shadows... happy weekend Amanda! :D

It's a great image. I'm a particular fan of stripes, and the pop of black and white with the sweater draws the eye to the left corner, then up to your face.

A true chameleon !
You look like your daughters in this photo, honestly we could believe you are a teenager !
December 12th, 2014  
Lovely image. Happy weekend to you too!
December 12th, 2014  
Awesome shot

@cocobella Hated my youthful appearance when I was younger. Now...I'll take it:). Thanks, lady!

Super capture, great light, shadows, comp, fav
December 12th, 2014  
Great shot! I always like 'blind lines' and especially here, where they cross over the ones in your shirt!

I can relate to this photo! I have not done much photo shooting this past week because of this deary weather. That, and the country roads are too muddy, and that's where I do most of my photo "scouting."

Love that smile my friend, happy weekend to you too. How many to 200 now?
December 12th, 2014  
The shadows add a sense of mystery, and your expression also hints that you know something.

@bill_fe 3. I finish by Christmas, I think. I have 3-4 shots in mind. Thanks!
December 12th, 2014  
@bill_fe Wanna hear something funny about this one. The hair on the left was covering the eye only partially and there was this freaky looking socket showing. I cloned hair over it to hide the freakdom. Oy!

@amandal great editing!
December 12th, 2014  
Great selfie, Amanda, love the coy expression. Fav!! 😃
December 12th, 2014  
Love the light.
December 12th, 2014  
Another great selfie from the queen of quirky.
December 12th, 2014  
Talk about sultry!! Are you trying to encourage your gaoler to open the locked door and come in?
December 12th, 2014  
@maggiemae What's a gaoler? Hmmm, maybe. Maybe not. I did nude versions, too, but too hot for 365 as per hubby. Eek.
December 12th, 2014  
Very creative!

Pam
Great lines, and shadows. Great expressive eyes. Congratulations on the double TT. Very much deserved!
December 12th, 2014  
@pammerritt Very much and so pleasantly surprised. Thank you!!!
December 12th, 2014  
Yeah, I am slowly achieving that goal too although I don't want to put myself out there until I am confident. I've never won or been a finalist in the main theme, congrats on that and your double TT. We need those goals to maintain the interest.
Love the shot, you're always so creative with your selfies.
December 12th, 2014  
You're so naughty and nice---Santa would definitely love that-cool shot and Congrats on TT----U go girl !!:)
December 12th, 2014  
Great expression and lighting! Congrats on your double TT--well deserved!
December 13th, 2014  
Congrats on the double! Woot! Woot! Love this one, too. You have a cute expression. Almost Mona Lisa-like. :)
December 13th, 2014  
Hahahaha! Fabulous! Love it!
December 13th, 2014  
Great shot!
December 13th, 2014  
Such a clever black and white selfie :). And double congrats on your double TT!
December 13th, 2014  
a, is that you?
December 13th, 2014  
@summerfield yup, the right face?
December 13th, 2014  
Not everyone looks good in stripes...they are lovely on you!! Very nice...and thank you for the nice message re TT. Yours was the first i knew of it ...what a great surprise. And congrats to you as well! :)
December 13th, 2014  
@amandal - oh, yeah! enigmatic and mysterious! you look like you're 20! so young yet so knowing! see when you're relaxed, the result is astounding! great job!
December 13th, 2014  
now this would make a really nice profile pic to replace that one where i think your head's going to roll over. :-D at least in my feed that's what shows up. and i get a neck-ache all the time!
December 13th, 2014  
@summerfield Hilarious!! I should email you the other one I did. The too hot for 365 one.
December 13th, 2014  
@amandal - what could be hotter than the guitar shot? :-)
December 13th, 2014  
@summerfield That showed nothing. The head roll off was one profile ago. Now I am blonde.
December 13th, 2014  
@amandal - okay, now i'm curious (that killed the cat i know but...) is it on its way? :-)
December 13th, 2014  
Very sexy and moody, perfect mono selfie.
December 13th, 2014  
Fantastic.
December 14th, 2014  
Definitely one of my favorites of your selfies!
December 14th, 2014  
FAV! and FAV again!!
December 14th, 2014  
@linnypinny Thanks so much for that, Lin!! So appreciated!
December 15th, 2014  
Love that mysterious exprssion, such a great selfie. Congrats for double TT....I got one of those double suprises once too, always a thrill
December 15th, 2014  
so creative
December 15th, 2014  
Wonderful light, beautiful self portrait
December 15th, 2014  
Such a youthful look. Sun stripes are fun to play with. Congrats on the double TT appearance, I did notice that you had. Well done, you deserve it. If I ever make a TT spot I think I'll keel over in shock. I like your new goal too, I'm sure you could very easily make money off photography.
December 16th, 2014  
Congrats on the double TT!! Wonderful shot here....would not have recognized you, though.....there are so many faces to Amanda!
December 18th, 2014  
Stripes on stripes. Clever!
