Ssshhhhh -The Lady Will Tell You Off

Kathy challenged me do a representation of my work. I've tried to present all the stereotypes; plain blouse, tight bun with not a hair out of place, spectacles, pearls, spinster and colourless.

Challenges- as ever to get lighting and focus for a selfie and the 'pose' (again how do you 5+2ers do this every week!!) Then I needed to decide on how to process it, and I faffed a lot, so am disappointed that it looks as if all I've done is make BnW.

Also tagging for the mood lighting for 52 week challenge

Thanks Kathy, quite a challenge
@randystreat hope you like what I did, it was this or the building!!

Well I’m scared and promise to be quiet! Great effect.
August 7th, 2020  
I certainly wouldn’t argue with her!
August 7th, 2020  
I would be intimidated for sure. Wonderful use of low key, makes it all the more effective
August 7th, 2020  
Looks like a teacher I once had! Well done!
August 7th, 2020  
great use of light and shadows Jackie! cute tag!
August 7th, 2020  
I would think you wouldn’t need to speak, a withering look should do it!
August 7th, 2020  
Sounds like a delightful person

August 8th, 2020

Love it Jackie! A winner on all counts!

I think it's a great self-portrait. Well done. I really don't know what your job is so I think you have probably done a good job of representing youreslf while at work. Am I to make of it that you are a librarian? Or a teacher? Or perhaps a secretary? The characteristics that you strived for (and achieved) are certainly ones that are sterotypical for either of those jobs.

@randystreat I work in a library!!
August 8th, 2020  
You don't look v stern though, there's a smile lurking!
August 8th, 2020  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Perfect! The folks who work in the library these days are no longer like the ones back in my younger days. It's a good thing and I'll bet you're the newer more updated version.
August 8th, 2020  
excellent - created the stereotype perfectly
