S P - a different look
The larger size is much better as it’s not as dark and you can see more detail.
I used Fractalius on myself and, wowee, I am really, really happy with this one – it is going to stay, no argument this time. I think it has an air of mystery about it now.
Thanks for looking, I hope you like this version – all comments and criticisms are apprecciated.
Edit: This is the original pic after being cropped to give it a tighter frame. I think it’s much better now.

I really like this one myself – I wish I’d thought to do it before putting either of the others up, then neither of them would be here. Many thanks for a lovely compliment, Robin. I’m glad you like.

This is lovely Jan, love the treatment, but don’t you dare take the others down, as I prefer a little more light on your face….....could you maybe lighten this one up a tad? It kinda makes me wanna turn a lamp on, as beautiful as it is, I’d just like to see a little more of you! The skin tones are so gorgeous…......xox

Lmao, this one is most definitely staying, I really love it, (I said I’d leave the first one for 3 months so, it’ll be up for three months.) I love what Fractalius has done to this: it’s made my skin actually look good; it’s made the shadow to the left look like a some sort of “substantial” barrier to the light which is just outlining my head; the duskiness makes me look a lot younger (I don’t actually care how old I look but, I think this is fabulous) and I think it gives me a serious, contemplative look. For me, this one has that “Wow” factor which so many talk about. I appreciate your suggestions, and the Fave, but the only thing I’m going to do to it, is crop the top, make it tighter.

Yeah you can still replace it Jannie…...straight under the image in Edit, it says ‘Replace Image’
And it looks nice larger, did you try to lighten it? You can still keep the mystery, even if you just dodge your face a bit…......but hey, that’s just me, and me who always hides behind my hair or whatever LOL!! ;)

Ah, I didn’t see that: I looked just about everywhere else on the page for it. Lol. No, I didn’t lighten it, I think just being larger means that the darkness is spread out more so your perception is altered.
I’ll delete the reply above, and re-do it without the new tighter crop which I will put in as the main pic. thanks for that Tracey, I would have pulled my hair out trying to work out why RB would remove such a “necessary” function.

Okay, I’ve replaced it and it’s up. I sometimes wish the darkness of the font used in some areas was darker, i find it quite hard to see!

haha, the REAL Jan coming out… always knew there was something about you!!! Very brave too, posting more than one image of yourself…

Lmao, the real Jan has her tail between her legs again, where it belongs! These are it, no more except for a couple of full-length shots which, if they work, won’t have the viewer’s focus on my face!
