need your opinion...can't be objective!

    I vote for #1 - black and white is so very striking. And I agree, you are gorgeous!

    I'd say #2 or #5..but honestly those pictures are not as bad as you think.
    • Gold Top Dog
    I'd vote for # 2 - I also love the B&W, but agree with the others who've commented on your beautiful hair color.
    • Gold Top Dog
    My vote is for #2, but possibly with the background lightened and less saturated in color?

    You have beautiful hair and eyes. [:)]

    Which one is it Shelly? Have you decided yet?

    Shelly,
    I LOVE # 2 because you can see the color of your BEAUTIFUL hair and eyes, and you have gorgeous skin!

    You're SOOO pretty!

    Sylvia,

      This is how it tallied up….

      The top two were #1 and #2 (#2 being the same shot as #1 but in color).

    #1 got 14 votes

    #2 got 20 votes

     so I will go with  #2 then.  I am going to fuss around with it in Print Shop Pro this week and see what comes of it. If I have time I might fuss with #1 as well and see if I end up with a preference between the two (which in their current state I do NOT prefer one over the other…).

        [:)]Ok, bear with me everyone on this little side track I am taking… it is kinda long but I want to thank all of you...

      Thank you so much everyone for all your feedback on these pictures. You have actually helped me in ways you could have never known. I have some weird self-esteem issues that have developed over the past 10 years and I have been trying really hard to work on them.  I am not one to show pictures of myself to ANYONE ( I don#%92t even like closest family to see them) and I NEVER show them in a public venue. I have only posted 1 other picture of me on this forum and that was in the “Let#%92s see YOU thread” and I had to really work up to getting the guts to post that.  It tried to tell myself that it doesn#%92t matter because I will never see any of these people anyway… it is a TOTALLY irrational feeling I know, but a feeling I have nonetheless.[&o]

      I had a very hard time posting these pics of me on here but I have been trying as part of my “New year#%92s resolution” to work on the parts of my life I am not happy with and this includes my stupid self image issues. I am totally OVERWHELMED by everyone#%92s kind comments on here… blown away is actually a better word for it. You all have helped me feel better about myself and this is something that I would have never expected to happen.

      Not only that but you all have convinced me of the following:

      1)      that it is worth the INSANE amount of money I am paying a my hairdresser to keep coloring and highlighting my hair the current color (she highlights so that I can keep from going all grey until I am at least 40…LOL!)[sm=biggrin.gif]

    2)      that I should SAVE money and keep waxing my eyebrows myself because even if I screw them up I can pull it off..LOL![8D]

    3)      That my pale complexion that I hate so much perhaps isn#%92t as bad as I thought![:D]

      So thank you so much everyone for your feedback and input, kind comments and good laughs!  I know that dad will be happy with anything I send him but I don#%92t want to be in his house and  look at the picture I send him and regret that I chose a particular one. I won#%92t have any regrets with it now since I didn#%92t pick it and so many folks said it was a good one to chose, so I will feel good about the decision. [sm=happy.gif] 

      Thank you again!

    Shelly,
     
    I TOTALLY understand about not wanting to post pics of yourself (you know this). It took me FOREVER to put a single picture of myself on my myspace. It took me even longer to put my myspace link in my signature on here because I didn't want other people to see. I have major self-esteem issues that I am working on right now because I refuse to let the second half of my 20's be as miserable as my first! [:D] Good for you for posting those beautiful pics of yourself on here! I know how hard it was to do. And I think the 2nd picture is a great choice! Your dad will love it!
