Rhana Griffin in reply to Kitsmumma’s comment, about 1 month ago

Awwwww Sylvia!!! You are such a sweetheart {{{{{{hugs}}}}}} I was going for more for the mischieveous, sword wielding, illegitimate, got-a-grudge-against-her-father look but Ice Queen works for me!

Rhana Griffin in reply to edlogsdon’s comment, about 1 month ago

Paul Tupman, about 1 month ago

Wow! This is stunning Rhana! A real Ice Queen.. and I mean that in a nice way! I love what you have done with this.. the white tones are fantastic and really set off your eyes so well.. wow, just look at your eyes! Fantastic original self portrait.

Heather Rivet..., about 1 month ago

well done

Shree, about 1 month ago

a mysterious moment captured by your expert photogenic skills…u look lovely in white…

Shaddy, about 1 month ago

Yeah, but can you shoot an arrow at an enemy whilst galloping on horseback across the plains??!!

Seriously – great treatment and love the eyes here my friend. Very powerful!

LittleHelen, about 1 month ago

Whoa…this is so cool…spunky white chick!

Geoff Coleman, about 1 month ago

You don’t often see “love child” and “Genghis Khan” in the same sentence – that alone was worth the trip here – but the image is very beautiful Rhana as well!! I suspect white will now be the new black on RB for a while. Really enjoying your careening across photographic genres with a cavalier disregard for starting off crap and then getting better and better – you just start out brilliant with each one!

Rhana Griffin in reply to Levi Moore KMA’s comment, about 1 month ago

Thanks!
Levi!
Awesome!

=)

Rhana Griffin in reply to Paul Tupman’s comment, about 1 month ago

(laughs) at least Ice Queen is getting thrown about with lurrrve ;)

Look into my eyessssss…. you are getting sleeEEEEpeeeee….

Rhana Griffin in reply to Shree’s comment, about 1 month ago

To be honest Shree, I hardly EVER wear white. I’m such a grub!

Rhana Griffin in reply to Shaddy’s comment, about 1 month ago

Yeah, but can you shoot an arrow at an enemy whilst galloping on horseback across the plains??!!

You bet your sweet patootie I can!!! Although, there aren’t that many plains round abouts… so I use our beach as my practice field. Those damn pesky plovers make good target practice!

Rhana Griffin in reply to LittleHelen’s comment, about 1 month ago

ICE cool baby!!! Pretty fly for a white chick ;)

Thankyou Your Extreme Spunkiness xxx

Caroline Gorka, about 1 month ago

Gorgeous Rhana !

Rhana Griffin in reply to Geoff Coleman’s comment, about 1 month ago

It’s a pretty damn wild ride Geoff let me tell you! My cavalier disregard is just a really clever way of hiding the fact that I don’t actually know what I’m doing (laughs)

Thanks for a magic comment =)

Rhana Griffin, about 1 month ago

David, Oliver, Dan, Rany, Andy, CD, Heather, Caroline (when did you sneak in you sneaky girl ;) Thank you all so very much for taking the time to comment on this image.

kazza49, about 1 month ago

Its those eyes and smile – they’ll get you every time!! Beautiful shot Rhan, nice change of colour and very Russian

billyboy, about 1 month ago

Took me a while to get back to this… thought the first post looked good. What`s the diff?

Anyway… this is like Baboushka on acid! And it made such an impact on me as I remembered what my great, great grandad from Khazakhstan (you can imagine how old that crazy vampire is!) once told me. You see, when the Mongols pillaged the citys and towns of eastern Asia, they would round up all the women and inspect them `thoroughly’. The ones they decided to keep received a stud under the lower lip, and in fact in those days, they had little rings on them so they could be chained to their masters` beds. The ones that didn`t pass the inspection were simply raped and killed. Seeing this picture makes me realize you are a descendant of the elite. Should have sussed it out ages ago, but I guess the nickel truly dropped when I saw this lovely portrait. RSR? don`t know who that is, but if he or she helped you turn this one out, kudos are in order to you both. Nice work!

Stuart Chapman, about 1 month ago

Do you want my take on why this works?

Summarised a lot more than my usual waffling because I just get this:

“What a contrast! The cold surroundings and bright white give off impressions of winter and arctic exploration but they are melted by that warm glaze from those enchanting eyes.”

victor, about 1 month ago

да вы красивый

Verangel, about 1 month ago

ok, this is positively wonderful!!! what a great image Rhana…. i love everything about it…. magical… great contrast between the eyes and the rest of the image…. love it!!!!

Paul Louis Vil..., about 1 month ago

Framing and processing make this great, the beautiful face makes this sublime! :D

Rhana Griffin in reply to kazza49’s comment, about 1 month ago

(smiles) You’re biased though {{hugs}}

Rhana Griffin in reply to billyboy’s comment, about 1 month ago

So what you are saying BB, is that somewhere far back in my lineage was a royal concubine? How freaking cool is that!!!

That would explain all those crazy dreams I have had lately of snow, and fur and chains, and…. well I shan’t go too much further into THAT =))

Rhana Griffin in reply to Stuart Chapman’s comment, about 1 month ago

And just like THAT (snaps her fingers) he gets it… gold star and elephant stamp for you Stuart =)
