I'm pretty sure she'd start at the throat! The trouble with the bark spot on the head there is no detail there to "bring out". I'd have to do some major cloning and that would spoil the sense of reality. Cafe Selavy

Coming from you, that’s high praise indeed

I’ve seen that post about your crazy sister and I don’t blame you for not letting her cut your hair. I’m pretty sure she’d start at the throat!

However she cuts her very nicely. Close to the scalp. I just wish she'd stop sending them to me! Hee! Hee! You could photoshop the dark area a bit. It's not pleasant esthetically but it really does not take away much from the photograph. It had not bothered me until you mentioned it. My sister never cut my hair. However she cuts her very nicely.

I'm glad that you're able to "read" the images because there is so much in them. Nat I love the expressions in the first shot as well, I just wish that the hair of the kid pushed up against the window, wasn't such a black blob without detail right in the centre of interest. As for the hair I'd say if it wasn't their mother who cut it, then perhaps it was each other. My sister once cut my hair like the kid in the last shot. Not having any fringe is just so weird and my so-called friends ripped on me for about a month until it grew out. Pat

I love the expression of the kid trying to get a better look. It's Truffautesque! Who cut these poor kids'hair? Talk about an unfair disadvantage to begin your life!

Kill me, I tell ya'. That final one is as complicated a portrait as I've seen. Deceptively simple your hear said of this or that...of this image, I say, deceptively complex. I am going to think about these images all day, I can tell. These photos and text kill me. Kill me, I tell ya’. That final one is as complicated a portrait as I’ve seen.
