Well, I was going to do a self-portrait with my new prescription sunglasses, but this shot without them trumped the others, so here we are.

That's because it is lovely.

Thank you. This was one of the test shots for the ones with the shades, but it was much better being able to see my eyes. Will have to come up with an alternative composition!

It is lovely, and it reminds me of Renaissance portraits like this one, found on the cover of this book:

Oh, that looks like a wonderful book for inspiration. I must put it on my list.

Thank you. That's a fantastic comparison, from my perspective, since I wanted the light to dominate the picture.
