There was a crooked lady.. by maggiemae

There was a crooked lady..

who had a crooked smile.
She found a crooked 10 cents upon a crooked stile.
She bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.

Three good things;
1. Learning a bit more about portrait styles.
2. Lot to learn - when one does not have a studio.
3. The only photo for today.
Well I think it is wonderful. I love the red curtain and your red sweater!

I feel your pain with trying to get the settings and composition right with a selfie AND have a good expression too. Woefully my expression usually suffers. Your, However loos great

@grammyn I remember the picture of the 'crooked man' and honestly he looked as if he needed to go into hospital!

@maggiemae I dare say he was a lot older than you and definitely in much worse shape!

A low PoV is supposed to be a no-no for portraits - you've proved that it can work perfectly for a character portrait.

@vignouse You are right Richard but I put this one at a distance. I should have sat on the floor with the camera above me on a table! But getting up and down is too exhausting!

I like the way the viewer is looking up at you! (oh, I see this aspect of the picture has already been mentioned) Sort of regal in a casual way.
