disclaimer: no one's dignity was harmed... other than my own ;p

Well hello there. I like the b&w touch and long for the day when I have a camera big enough to hide behind so that I may also try this - well done.

[Kate Klinck]

I love it!!! probably what I will do to lol!

[Sean]

Cool! You'll get there....one body part at a time! Just take it slow and it'll be pain free, I promise :P

[☠northy]

@slang you lie... i am older than you and i KNOW this...

[Michelle Blackford]

I love this shot! Saw it in the one night stand thread. I think you're being WAY too hard on yourself...very pretty!

[kasey]

youre beautiful

[Sean]

@northy Age has nothing to do with beauty.... Sadly, I'm losing on both counts

[cheryl]

Nice. I am with you about the behind the camera thing.

[Laurie Higgins]

I love your selfie! And oh, I can SO relate! I hated the selfie I posted tonight. It reminded me of all the things I hate about Facebook. But Jerry's challenge has made me realize that because I'm the family photographer, there are so few photos of me. I can live with that, but I want my kids to have photos for when I'm gone. I certainly treasure photos of my parents, and grandparents.

[Kerri]

Beautiful selfie

[Michelle]

You are way to hard on yourself! This is great. I like the softness and the b&w.

[Jase]

Yep, give it another couple of months and you will be getting nekkid and everything ;)

[Caroline]

Well done on moving out of your comfort zone. I will one day too! This is a lovely selfie, quite glamorous and soft.

[David Shimmings]

"What a big eye you've got!"
Wonderful shot.

[jerry plume]

Why do most of us hate pics of ourselves! I'm not comfortable with it either! To be honest, when I randomly picked 7 styles and this came up, I almost left it out! ;o)

[jerry plume]

Beautiful selfie! I forgot to mention that! ;)

[Mags ッ]

*jealous* of your camera! Good photo :)

[Lisa Pouncy]

Hey lady, you're beautiful and should show yourself off more. From what I can see of this pic you have beautiful eyes that are obviously smiling and a gorgeous dimple. More please :o) xx

[Livia]

Awesome selfie! 8)

[Karen Sylvia]

Nice selfie!

[Leslie]

Beautifully done an you're a brave soul. I'm with you and hate having my picture taken. Was thinking about it the other day and was wondering if it was more than the wrinkles and graying hair. After taking and looking at photographs for so long I've found peoples' poses, eyes and body language reveal so much - not sure I want the world to know me that well!

[Stacey]

I commented on the other thread. Nice to finally see you. I have a terrible confession to make. I think a while back you posted another selfie (but hardly)...before that selfie I thought you were a guy! Isn't that funny? Nice to finally see you my dear.

[Stacey]

Oh and you are lovely by the way...don't be so hard on yourself!

[Paula]

Oh hello! Nice to see you there:) You should try the month of selfies challenge. I did that awhile back in my project and had LOADS of fun with it:)

[Deb B]

I think this is lovely. I'm with you though... it's hard to be IN FRONT of the camera. That being said.... @38mm LOL !!!!

[Lidac]

we are pretty much the same. accept i like to take photos of myself but when someone else points camera at my way i run :D

[Disha Parekh]

I love how soft your hands look. Its always nice to see the person taking the photos, I think. This works really well in b&w. Great shot overall. Well done for getting through it!

[☠northy]

wow! tx so much for such a great positive response to this photo... and i was so hoping i could, you know, just slip this one and everyone would ignore it ;p but i do very much appreciate all the kind comments...

jase - not a chance, not ever! i do not do nekkid ;p

jerry - you should have left this style out... thank the gods you didn't pick sooc selfie combined 'cos i would have had to abandon ship!

[Juliette Packham]

it's a great selfie - took me ages to do my first one - but it gets easier with time! love this in B&W

[scooter]

I think this is a beautiful selfie!

[Peter de Graaff]

Great to see you.

[Aleksandra]

Wonderfully done! Selfies are certainly challenging, but can be a lot of fun! And by the way, not ick at all, rather lovely infact :)

[Disha Parekh]

@northy SOOC selfie. Oh God, if ever there was a photography nightmare, that would have to be it!

[Zoe Ferrie]

Ah, so that's what you look like! Great selfie!

[Jan Hall]

Such a good picture, well done for leaving your comfort zone, you're a braver woman than I!

[Kass]

Great to 'see' you northy! Great selfie. :)
