the only problem has this pciture is that is too near to the perfection required from a face.

I should add that I converted to B&W and cropped it for effect, here is the original.

Astonishing for a 15-year old! You do indeed look more mature than your physical age although anyone who remembers what "15" was like knows it doesn't feel the same on the inside looking out. Who took the photo? It's a very professional job.

Ok I just dug the photo up and it was taken by a photographer named James Hughes. He also took some other really beautiful and glamorous shots that day.
I am shocked at what a response this photo has gotten. It has always been a favorite of mine. I was just feeling a little sentimental on my birthday! WOW!
Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes and kind comments!

Mel,
Hey HOT STUFF. Check you out! WOW, don't you look a spitting image of Kate Moss here? She's my fav model at the mo and I have one of Mario Testino's books with a shot of her framed just like this! It's sensational.
The framing style gives a film feel and I like that for this shot. B&W tonal range are superb - as per all your PS work.
Now the main point - 15, get away! You look as great today as you did then. Kelly thinks it and so do I!
I've put you in my fav's now and you get the full 7 outa 7 - top marke ' young' lady! hehe...
I can't believe you're the same person who took them welding shots, what seam like, many moons ago now! As good in front of the camrea as behind.
Best wishes - if a little late for your 26th. Your presents in the post - LOL!
Matt

di una bellezza e dolcezza disarmanti: direi quasi ipnotica.Vedendo poi la versione a colori si possono apprezzare ancor di più i dettagli: da non credere.
complimenti non tanto per la foto, che ho letto non essere opera tua, tanto per la tua bellezza.
Sbalordito

You did look so mature and grown up. But not in that "hard life" way - just in pure beauty. It's when you go from "she's cute" to "she's beautiful". Wonderful photo of you.
