oh, i like this Joan! i can see your eyes now:) you are braver than I am. I don't think i want to try a selfie....LOL

Great selfie, Joan!
November 23rd, 2014  
This one I love!
November 23rd, 2014  
This one gets my vote Joan but I would prefer that you reprocessed it to reproduce the low-key effect of your first try but retaining the better quality and naturalness of this one. Just sayin'...

I really like this one! I also like the crop on the first one and the color one. Very well done!
November 23rd, 2014  
Very nice!
November 23rd, 2014  
I like this one! I wonder if you could lighten your one eye just a bit.
November 23rd, 2014  
I really like this one too.
November 23rd, 2014  
Excellent selfie.
November 23rd, 2014  
Nice lighting.
November 23rd, 2014  
@vignouse I actually tried to do that but it looked processed. I might try again if I have time.

@kt8ird "The crop" on the color is partly due to the fact that I didn't place my head right. Really tired and that seemed to be a problem last night.

I love the intensity of your eyes in this one
November 23rd, 2014  
Another great selfie
November 23rd, 2014  
Great selfie.
November 23rd, 2014  
I think I like this the best Joan. The lighting is lovely. The eye my left your right .. looks better in this one, and i like the softness of this capture. Well done.
November 23rd, 2014  
I really like this selfie better Joan.
Great shot.
November 23rd, 2014  
I prefer this one the most! Great self portrait.
November 23rd, 2014  
I too like this one! Nicely done Joan!
November 23rd, 2014  
I'm in agreement with those who've voted for this shot (although I've only looked at the thumbnails of the others). This is really nice and natural looking. I also like the lighting and your expression seems the most relaxed in this one. But I know how you feel. I hate selfies too- and try to avoid them at all costs!

As for the "burst" setting- some cameras call it the "sports mode". I'm sure your D90 has it as it is a step up from the camera I have. If you can't find it on your own, ask here- I'm sure someone knows where it is in the Nikon.

@olivetreeann Okay I do have sports mode. Right now I am knee deep (who am I kidding I've been down for two counts and trying not to go down for the third) with my year end accounting duties. So after the accountants have their information I will be able to read up on this. I understand how this works.

@joansmor You can only do so much- and there's no pressure to learn it tomorrow! So now you know it's there and you'll be able to get to it when your time frees up. I hope your week goes really well and the work gets done to your satisfaction.

I'm not sure if this is the one you decided on Joan but I really like it. Your lighting is lovely and it has a very relaxed feel to it.
November 24th, 2014  
@bella_ss Yes this is it.
November 24th, 2014  
I love it Joan its beautiful x
November 25th, 2014
