Nigella eat your heart out

For the Push challenge as challenged by @m9f9l - "So my push challenge for you is a selfie that tells about an interest you have other than photography."
My main interest besides photography is cooking and food so I was happy to take a selfie whilst preparing a delectable meal, of course it was not going to be unprocessed :)

[Monika]

@m9f9l shhhhh..... its a setup (theres nothing in the bowl) but dont tell anyone.
Hows your challenge going?

[m9f9l]

I was hoping to get some motion at the kite beach, but it was so bright out, that I couldn't really get a slow shutter speed- :-( Then I took some shots of our sprinkler, but I don't think I really liked any of those. I will try more tomorrow!

[Monika]

@m9f9l yeah, wait until the light drops, works much better :)

[Karen H]

Cute shot, I agree it's a sixties shot with that processing

[Sharon]

Definitely a Domestic Goddess in that sweet doggy apron ;-)

[☠northy]

this is awesome! lovely photo, lovely processing and fabulous response to your push!

[Sherry Owens McNulty]

you look beautiful -- great fun -- change your profile pic to this one!

[Lyn Todd]

Great selfie Monika - I think the processing 'reflects' who you are too - and a good portrait should aim to encapsulate the 'being' more than the physical attributes - the warmth, openness & generosity that is here is part of 'you', as is the connection to your family. The processing is the 'patina' of your life that makes 'you' who you are. :)) Totally successful push...

[Monika]

@ltodd dont get the idea from this that I am a dutiful housewife though....love to cook, HATE to clean! Thanks!

[Synke]

Love this selfie of yours! Kind of 50ies style! Wish I could try what you cooked!

[Monika]

@synke You will one day ;)

[Donna]

What a great shot! This could be the profile pic of your cooking blog! ;-)

[Sabine]

What a great shot ! I could easily be fooled into thinking it was taken back in the sixties, waaaaaay before Nigella came onto the scene :))

[Jason Daniels]

Great selfie, and what a smile!
