Uptown Girl

Thank you to my great friend.

Leora yes you are a sophistecated photographer!!!! Warm regards.

Shucks, I would not kick Christie off my posing stool either.... Looks like maybe a photo reproduction off a magazine cover thus has lost the original snap crackle and pop unfortunately of the negative or chrome.

Lighting still shows the work of a pro for sure!. Nice indeed and a lovely classic face she has. aloha and best wishes.  (PS. I liked your response  I saw on the Help Forum.  How to join the community by being proactively 'communal.'  Seems obvious yet not so obvious to new members for some reason.  I try hard to see what others are up to and never rate but always leave at least a word or two. It's just fun and in the spirit of things ).  aloha , gs

Regret slow to reply, Gerry. I appreciate your kudos. This was actually scanned from a BW print. I may have had to soften it slightly to overcome some of the uneveness that resulted from graininess. I tried to bring it as close to the way it appeared in the New York Times ad (some years ago). They had the benefit of professional retouching.

I enjoyed seeing your work again.

Best regards, Leora
