monocotylidono
Hey, sorry I’m late to the party :-) Using the 10-20 for portraits??? You are a real “in your face” mum!!! LOL. Neat idea!
Shelly Hiebert replied
I have to use it for somthing since I can’t figure out the whole landscape thing George! (and this is actually an in “MY” face shot )
Pete Costick
Gorgeous image Shell, really pleased you stuck with this concept because, as usual, you’ve made this work perfectly, with the eye pattern on the feather outdone by your own stunningly beautiful eye. Your framing and b&w tones so good as always, another trademark Shelly portrait :) The Title, linked to that song of the same name accompanies the image so creatively well :) All round fab work Shell :)
Shelly Hiebert replied
Well….I still don’t think I have it right, but I may give it another go. Thanks for your great feedback Pete :)
Naylor
you are beautiful and you do such beautiful work :) ((HUG))
Shelly Hiebert replied
Thank you for such a kind comment Naylor and a hug back to you ;)
parmi
Wow, this is so creative Shell! I love the feather, it adds such a masquerade element to the shot, without needing the actual mask. I agree with Pete, this is a trademark portrait, I knew it was yours before I clicked on it (which is a good thing in my eyes!), you have developed such a unique style of portraiture mate, it’s brilliant!
Shelly Hiebert replied
I’m so glad you get the masquerade element to this as I was kind of shooting for that so to speak! It used to bother me when people would say they know my work but now I am kind of embracing it….it can’t be all that bad right?! Thanks ever so much for your ongoing support and for ‘getting’ me Andrew :)
Andy Evans
Nice idea Shel, like the high end contrast look.

Shelly Hiebert replied
You are so wonderful to comment on this Micklyn….......and now I can say we are even after me messing up on one of your photos with your kids and the names and stuff…......this is MY eye hehehe…..but SHE really appreciates your feedback :)
