Ayda my dear friend...I read your note and it so sad to read about you...the pain you've. I hope you'll feel better and was thinking you feel better when I saw your last photos. They are often a reflection of your mood and was happy you've friends around you. I hope it will come soon that you'll feel better and find rest in your life...I hope that we can help you and that our photos give you strength.
Your portrait is from a high class but the situation you made this gives me double feelings about it Ayda...let the smile return to you ;-)

Take care my dear,

Jos

I don't know exactly your story...
But always love the little things and be thankful...
About the picture : I feel an emotion of sadness, so that's okay !
The B&W together with red dreadlocks i like.
Also the frame... it's just watching television. Ciao,groetjes Giuseppe.

Sensual and emotional, well rendered.
I'm sorry you're pained again.
Producing an artwork such as this can give an uplifting feeling. When I finish some work (either photography or freshly done wallpapering... some achievement) I have a good look before turning to bed, so the last impression of the day is one of satisfaction. So just look at what you produced here and admire yourself for it.
Wish you the happiness.

SALAM Ayda,(My half persian friend)

Once again a professional Self-Portrait, Not professional in photography, technical or something like them, this is professional to transfer you Pain, Sorrow and mood to me, to me and everyone who are looking at. Yes, I can understand more than you can imagine, there are some pains, Floating all over our life, a life cover by fear of truth, No escape at all. But what we can do? UNFORTUNANTELY nothing, Rest and see. mmm, the worst fact regarding to this case is that key for solve this pain is not in our hand. A pain force to me, No me, most of us by other ones misunderstand!
I can not do anything for you, because you are so far from me, but you can feel someone here, in IRAN, think to you and all you pains. So accept half of your pain is mine, it is better way to handle it.

Ayda
We live with despair everyday ... here in this bowl of mercilessness ...
Only way out is through creativity ...
You are a creator ... Here you have created beauty out of pain ...
A fine Pre Raphaelite portrait ...

Your note is very touching. I hope you are feeling more colourful today. I wish I could say something to help you feel better. Maybe a big hug for you and one for Bodmin.

As always your self portraits are first class. I guess it helps because you are so attractive. Then that special touch you seem to have in the post processing. I wish you lived closer so you could teach me your techniques.

Excellent work all around. Please hurry with Bodmin's shots. It's time you know.

Ciao Ayda,

I perfectly agree with Edie as far as life!
About your shot, I like your pose, which I dont find totally sad, your beautiful shoulders and your expression, together with that touch of red make me think about a moment caught when you were deep in your thought, and that framing make me think to an old tv, creating nice mood.

take care

Hi Ayda,
Very moody indeed! I like how you composed & presented the photo to us. But what really stands out is the red streaks of hair. Very creative & imaginative.
Well done :)

Yes Ayda, please show us some more of Bodmin - though I don't mind looking at your self-portraits, of course ;o). As usual your PP work is perfectly tuned to your note, and vice versa. If there's one good thing to your darker moods, it's that they deliver very moody, beautiful self-portraits.
Still, I'd love to see some happier SPs from you ;o).
Take care my dear... hugs to Sir Bodmin.
TFS.

Hi Ayda,
A classical beauty plus beautiful but moody poem. She (you?) was put very close to the right edge looking towards outside. It is an unusual composition which strengthen the feeling of hopelessness.

Hi Ayda,

Such a long time I passed by and I see you posted wonderful images whilst I was away...
This is a amazingly beauiful portrait my dear. Still with such distress and melancholy in your eyes... I love the way you left the red stripe on your hair. It gives some life to the image. Maybe a spark of happiness...

Lovely photo sweetheart. Really Beautiful

Take care dear and be well

Like looking into a movie screen of your life my friend... the special sharing of the hardship and the feelings...

Very lovely composition, love the way your hair has such body and the screen like frame. :)

Nice to see you again dear Ayda.
