Fly Me to the Moon

A little selfie fun on a Friday night. This is another for the 5+2 Freedom theme. Why is this freedom? I was free on a Friday night...the kids were in bed, Michael was out playing video games with friends (what is he 12?;-), and I spent some time with my camera and then had a blast editing.

I've been a bit on a selfie kick lately. I think that it's that I am getting bored with my surroundings but keep coming up with clever ideas for selfies. Please pardon my me focus.

Happy weekend. Hope that you are enjoying your free time like I am.
Cool capture and love the dark tone!

Fantastic creativity.
September 21st, 2013  
wow! nice legs! über fantastic, amanda.
September 21st, 2013  
I, for one, enjoy your "me focus". Quite a glow you've got going there.
September 21st, 2013  
super sexy shot Amanda ... love the mood ... enuf said :-)
September 21st, 2013  
Great selfie! And what a fun one...bet Micheal will be sorry he was playing video games when he sees it!! Very creative and lovely!!
September 21st, 2013  
I have to fave this one... great processing! Is he playing GTA 5?
September 21st, 2013  
very cool
September 21st, 2013  
Please tell me your kidding Jeff @Jsw0109 I've no idea what those numbers mean...Lol. I do know however that I too am compelled to Fav this hot, imaginative and pretty cool pic. Well done Amanda :)
September 21st, 2013  
Excellent editing and pose. Enjoy your freedom!! Congrats on TT to you too!
September 21st, 2013  
I think you are as good in front of the camera as your are behind it Amanda!
September 21st, 2013  
Excellent! Editing is superb and the entire concept is terrific.
September 21st, 2013  
@adamj I'm surprised you haven't seen ads for GTA 5 all over NYC
September 21st, 2013  
A fantastic shot, love it...a fav.
September 21st, 2013  
Very creative shot...
September 21st, 2013  
Very cool result! :)
September 21st, 2013  
So cool! Fantastic concept and editing. Very sexy!
September 21st, 2013  
@jsw0109 Perhaps, but gaming is just not my thing. Your comment made me chuckle :)
September 21st, 2013  
Yep.Michael had his priorities all wrong that night.

He could have played astronaut. :^)

Love the processing—it makes it fun rather than tawdry. And the title gives it a Madmen-y retro kick.
September 21st, 2013  
You are one bold, dramatic, and creative individual! Well done!
September 21st, 2013  
Very nice! I've said before that you have great legs!
September 21st, 2013  
Love this image!
September 21st, 2013  
@adamj I have a Wii, but I have it for the "games" that get me to burn calories :)
September 21st, 2013  
Very seductive looking. Great creativity and cool processing.
September 21st, 2013  
Very creative,super editing....keep coming up with the ideas!!
September 21st, 2013  
As an FYI, it was my first time playing games in like 8 - 10 years. Besides, why can't adults play games once in a while too? For example: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/sep/20/grand-theft-auto-5-adult-gamers

@Jsw0109: No, it wasn't GTA V, although that does look like fun.

Oh, and how about Uranus instead of the moon (reference to the picture title)(sorry, I just couldn't resist)? :-).
September 21st, 2013  
@mikeable So. Wrong!!!
September 21st, 2013  
"he could have played astronaut" - Gold.
September 21st, 2013  
I agree.Is this etsoii enough for you?! @bobfoto
September 21st, 2013  
Great sexy pose and celestial processing -- love how "freely" you express your range of photographic moods. You rock, Amanda!
September 22nd, 2013  
oh wow....reading all this talk has got me way off track..... excellent shot amanda. fav
September 22nd, 2013  
@squamloon LOVED your comments here, Jim. Some of the best. Thank you so much!!!
September 22nd, 2013  
@jsw0109 Sooooo appreciate the fav! And no, he wasn't playing GTA. He had replied to you above, but I don't know if you saw it.

@adamj Thanks so much for the kind words and fav, my friend. I didn't know GTA either...Mike thought I lived under a rock for not knowing. Glad I'm not the only one:). People on 365 don't talk about that;-).

@leananiemand Aw, thanks so much, Leana, for your fav. Really appreciate that, lady!!!
September 22nd, 2013  
@moreyoulessme Thanks so much, Jerri. I was pretty pleased with the funky edit. It really made this one special.
September 22nd, 2013  
Sassy selfie! Nicely done, Amanda. Also...my hubby is in his 40s and still plays the occasional video game. Not hatin' on it though - I also admit...I still kinda like some video games myself. 😵 And I actually want to check out GTA5. Lol. Played the other ones before. Ads for that all over the subway and streets in NYC.
September 22nd, 2013  
Great selfie. Had fun reading all the comments. I see your husband joined the 365. Cool.
September 22nd, 2013  
Holy Mackerrel !!-this is like a scene from 50 shades.hA !:)honestly,reminds me of a DKNY lingerie ads-love and fav -YO go,girl !!:)
September 22nd, 2013  
Fabulous selfie! Love your position and the far out processing! Definitely a fly me to the moon look. Perfectly titled, too.
September 22nd, 2013  
@mikeable I think I like your title better LOL!!!!
September 22nd, 2013  
@amandal sorry
September 22nd, 2013  
@jsw0109 Damnit!!!
September 22nd, 2013  
September 22nd, 2013  
Nice one amanda. Lookin hot there. I admire your boldness as id freak at this kinda selfie attempt. Oh damn that man missed oot big time. Gta oh boy that would drive me nuts hahaha. Fav from me lady
September 22nd, 2013  
@chezza You are super kind for your comments and fav, lady. Check the button, though, it didn't seem to go through. I've become MUCH bolder in my selfies this year. I set out to master them and have done a bunch. Hubby keeps badgering me for sexy ones (I tend to do more silly). I was taking these for him. Perhaps it was too much for 365? I don't know. I didn't link to this one on FB as I usually do>
September 22nd, 2013  
Meg
ahhh and what a selfie...creativity at it's best....I think you need to frame this as a boudoir one!
September 22nd, 2013  
@amandal - I can only see positive responses here, and so there should be. Cool shot. I mean hot shot.
September 22nd, 2013  
Kev
Super shot, Amanda, and great processing. As Jason above says, hot shot! +Fav
September 23rd, 2013  
@megmills Thanks so much, my friend.

@bobfoto Maybe too many hot ones in one week? I'm going to hold off on the next installment of Red for a bit. This one I did not post to FB.

@snaggy Thanks so much, Kev. Really appreciate that fav and your comments!
September 23rd, 2013  
Wow, what an awesome selfie, Amanda. Love your processing. Sexy and a fav as you did a wonderful job on this one though I love all that you have done and how much you have grown as a photographer. FAV
September 23rd, 2013  
Wow, great & clever & sexy picture Amanda. Love the tones and atmosphere.
September 23rd, 2013  
very dreamy and sensuous! awesome processing!
September 23rd, 2013  
Great shot and processing! Its nice to have some time to ourselves with our cameras!
September 23rd, 2013  
@darsphotos Thanks so very much for the fav. Hope that this one was tastefully done. This is pushing my comfort level for 365, I think. Appreciate all of your kind support my friend!
September 23rd, 2013  
@aleksandra It's so much fun sometimes. Thanks, friend!
September 23rd, 2013  
"What is he, 12?" LOL....that really made me laugh. I live in a house with three boys too....the eldest boy being 43!!!

Love this shot! Fav.
September 23rd, 2013  
@gailmmeek My hubby is 42:). Thanks so much, Gail. I really appreciate that laugh and the fav. I hope that this was tastefully done. I've been pushing my comfort level lately!
September 23rd, 2013  
@amandal Yeah, very tastefully.. I take my hat off to you. It's beautiful.
September 23rd, 2013  
@jodimuli Really appreciate your comments and fav. This was 50 Shades inspired. Hope that I kept it tasteful. Thanks so much, my friend!
September 23rd, 2013  
@sbolden Thanks so much, Scott!!

@sewsharyn Thank you, Sharyn. I was trying my hand at low key again.

@summerfield You are very kind, my friend. Thank you. This would have been better perhaps for this week's theme of release. I don't think I'm participating this time around.

@rvwalker Thank you, Ross. Really appreciate that. Though the process is kinda funky, I thought it made the shot better somehow. Glow and all:).

@friend2303 Thanks so much, Vijay. Hope it was done tastefully. That was my goal.

@eyesmile True words. Thanks, Gena. He's wanted me to do more sexy selfies, so maybe he was glad that I finally got around to doing some.

@twr Thanks, Timothy!

September 23rd, 2013  
@kwind Thanks kindly, Kim!!

@skipt07 Really appreciate your comments, Skip. That means a bunch. I hope that I kept this one tasteful. It was pushing the envelope a bit for me.

@taffy Thanks so much, Taffy. I really appreciate you!

@kcman5 Thanks so much, lady!
September 23rd, 2013  
@alia_801 Thanks, Alia. I thought that the funkified processing made it cool!

@roseolivia Thanks so much, my friend. I was pleased with the crazy edit!

@kareenking Love it. Thanks for your sweet words!

@ozziehoffy Aw, thanks again, Cass. I work em hard to look nice. I'm a runner and get into the gym a bunch. Nice legs is a thing for my hubby.

@shepherdman Thanks so much, Shepherdman!

@happysnap Thank you kindly, Linda!!

@carolmw Thanks, Carol. I love to do that. :)

@wendyhgill Love your kind comments, Wendy! Thank you!!!


@fauxtography365 Thanks, Ms. T. Glad you approve. I was thinking of how I could be more mysterious in this one. Hope that I kept it tasteful. How fun that you and hubby play video games together. I'm too preoccupied with 365 for that;-).

@bardejov He's probably trying to keep track of me;-). He's not super into it. I don't think he's posted since August, but he does enjoy photography, too. Thanks, friend. Hope that I kept this one tasteful.

@pflaume Thanks so much, Lisa. Really appreciate your wonderful comments!

September 23rd, 2013  
@sjouk Thanks so much for your sweet comments, lady!!

@wind_of_the_sothern_sea Thanks, Arefin. I loved the crazy processing:)!
September 23rd, 2013  
This is just fabulous Amanda - just love that processing! Love the title too!
: ) fav
September 23rd, 2013  
@rennes I've been singing it since the weekend. Thanks so much, my friend!!
September 23rd, 2013  
Wow sexy!! ;)
September 24th, 2013  
@michaelelliott I pulled a Ms. T while the hubby was away. I don't know if it will encourage him to stay home or go out more because of what I do while he's gone...rewarded with a photo. Thanks!
September 24th, 2013  
Very Sexy!!! living in a house with all boys i do know that the new Grand Theft Auto just came out and it's a really big deal! Personally I think you super selfie is a bigger deal!
September 25th, 2013  
@sunshinephoto5 Aw, thanks so much, kind friend!!:)))
September 26th, 2013  
wonderfully done... this image carries a lot of oomph... excellent pose, comp and processing!
September 26th, 2013  
@northy Thanks so much, Northy. This was so fun to both shoot and process.
September 26th, 2013  
@amandal aha done :-) Nae not too much I admire you for being so brave ...
September 26th, 2013  
@chezza Thank you so much, Cheryl. I've become much bolder this year, but this is where I draw the line. I didn't even link this one on FB...kinda would be weird for my dad to see this or old pastor, etc.
September 26th, 2013  
there is something deliciously abandonned and naughty about this shot - home alone feel & one of my favourite frank songs :o)
September 28th, 2013  
@gozoinklings Thanks, lady. I hope that I don't start getting a bad reputation. I took a selfie break this week. I love the song, too, and have been singing it all week.
September 28th, 2013  
Great selfie Amanda - superb idea for a freedom theme - I love doing these kind of selfies - something exhilarating about them don't you think?
October 5th, 2013  
@sparkle YES!! Thanks so much, Juliette!:)
October 5th, 2013  
Beautiful.
