Stretching in the Sun

Self-portrait: Butterfly stretches in the sun.

P.S. For those concerned few: no, no this does not hurt. Feels kinda refreshing!

Man, I can't believe you got in that position. It looks painful. Its a wonderful photo however. Very, very well done.

Thank you all your comments! Since I was very young, I have been very flexible...my parents encouraged dance and figure skating when I was younger, and when I got to college I started and have continued doing Taekwondo, which does keep me very limber! I never thought of shooting my portrait at this angle until yesterday mornin!

Nice pose but think a soft focus effect might help smooth the shot out.

There are some good parts to this, especially the lower half. Light on face is not good. Top right body part in uninteresting.
Keep her bending and you keep shooting.

LOL! Maybe I should have mentioned this is a selfportrait...I have very little control of the automatic focus...if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. Or is just trial and error? In crop suggestions?

Frank Lynch says:

I think it has to be trial and error in a situation like this - - either that or figure out exactly where you want to be and set the focus for a specific distance. But the focus shouldn't be on the face.

Yet I'm not at all distracted by that.

10 out of 10 from the Score Me! group.
