Just because this was the music I was listening to...

Frank sinatra - My Way

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.

Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

wow, nice shot, i like the comoppose on this, congratulations and very prety model, the song is really great, i lika ll in this image, TFS

Nice shot of this beautiful lady. Who is she? ;)
You used some effects right?
Very warm portrait, the lighting and the wooden background.
Thanks for this!

Very moody shot Carla, you look sultry. I hope that this doesn't get removed as it is a good portrait with nice PP work.
Thanks for sharing.
Michael.

Hi Carla!
I admire you for putting such a beautiful and brave self portrait in TE.
I love the honesty and simplicity of this shot. Minimal PP and obviously no special lighting effects - just an overhead light.
How about you do a shot like this, with a lamp placed on the left or right to add edges & highlights to your skin, and perhaps a bedsheet pinned across the door behind as a backdrop? Experiment a little more and see what results!
Fantastic work!

Olá Carla,

Está fantástica! Só acho a cor negra um pouco esquisita. Mas o pormenor do chapéu, sinceramente, está divino. Também gosto da pose, sexy q.b. sem ser abusiva.

Bj,
Aida

HOLA CARLA UNA MUY ORIGINAL FORMA DE DARNOS UNA CANCION Y PUES TU COMO MODELO MEJRO AUN FELICIDADES

Sensual shot with nice warm lighting.. background could have been better if it had no texture and a bit further to avoid shadows.. good job Carla..

Alaettin

Very sensuous and engaging Carla. Such a self portrait shows considerable courage. Very well done!

Great self-portrait, Carla! A bit daring, quite sexy! Not sure I like it off-centered, but it is minor. Nice work!

Hi Carla,
interesting picture also in combination with the song
Anyway before i had different associations before?

Self portraint has been taken with immense care and high level of skill. Soft details of the picture is well in harmoney along with a veneer background in sodium light; acting as catalyst on the warm mood. A voluptious semi-nude fingure looks interesting.

Thanks for sharing a beautiful shot.

Olá... Como já nos habituas-te cá está mais uma foto muito bem conseguida. Sem duvida fazes as coisas à tua maneira. Sexualidade, profundidade e espírito estão muito presentes na foto... Adoro a nota grande tributo a uma grande pessoa...

Parabéns...

Hi Carla,
Nice,sensuous capture with a pretty model. But I feel that it was not required to show the black dress. Cropping just after the belly button or before as well would have added possibilites in the mind of the viewer.
TFS.

Ola!
Mais uma espetacular auto foto,o pormenor do chapeu cai q nem uma luva :)
Gostei bastante da pose,a tua expressão é bastante sexy.

Hazta
molas.

Bonita pose e expressão. Dei-lhe uns retoques. Espero que não te importes.

Olá Carla, acho que tudo o que foi dito não basta para esta peça de arte eu mesmo não as encontro, apenas absolutamente estrondosa e como se diz na gíria Angolana, balísticamente bala bala.
Parabéns,
Nelson

Hello Carla,
Strong self portrait!!
Bold and sexy... Cannot interpret your expression but I don't care so much...
Well done!
Greetings,

Very daring and revealing self-portrait. The lack of all special effect and pp and lighting and all such artificial means enhances the mood of the portrait.
Well done.
Salil

great photo, shadows on the bg just not too strong to be bothersome, nice and moody
jaco

GREAT song, nice portrait! Way to keep things covered as to post on TL! HAHA! Very good shot!

Beautiful, emotional portrait. Good use of the existing lighting and strong colors. The slightly soft focus suits it well.

TFS,
David

love to see her expression and pose,
great tone colours and warm lighting.

Hi Lopa...
Lovely self portrait of a very sweet model!
Perfect composition, nice colors.
Congratulations...
Rgd. George

A great looking girl love the pose and expression . A bit of post processing especially the background and tone levels could make this a fantastic shot best rgds Necip. By The way I just revisited the shot and thought I would do a Workshop hope you like it :-)

Beautiful model specially her Brest I like
