About Well, this is my thank you for the overhwhelming response to the last photo I posted! I love this site and it's members, you all helped to give me a great birthday!

I have learned so much from the members here. I have several books here regarding photography, but have learned more from this site than any of those books.

I've got stars in my eyes, WHY? Well that is because I have my very first photography job THIS WEEKEND!! AHHH!! So scarey, yet so exciting! I will be doing a wedding, not only will I be photographing it, but I will be doing the bride's hair and makeup! I also have a woman who owns a salon in the LA County area who is interested in using my photographs for her salon as well as having me take more photographs for her salon.... WOW!

I credit much of my developement as a photographer to this site and it's members! I am sad that I don't have as much time to post and comment like I used to... but I still love you all and I appreciate every single one of your comments! So, THANK YOU... SO SO MUCH!

On another note, this photo was taken in natural window light (my favorite), I used PSP to white out most of the background... it may not be PERFECT.... but neither am I (I hate my teeth, by the way), but I hope you lke it regardless! My own twist on "Old Hollywood".

Congrats to you girl. Good job. Love the pic. I try to do the old hollywood stuff also . I dont pull it off like you can. Good stuff.

The results are superb - you've definately captured the essence of old Hollywood!
I like the angle, the lovely catchlights, smooth skin and plain background - very glamourous.
Good luck with the wedding.

Oh yes, very Hollywood moody.
Perfect portrait, Melanie, I like it very much.
Congrats,
Alex

Anyway, happy birthday again and I have to repeat myself: you are still really beautiful :)
