mine!
like the progessive colour.. bright green, more muted and finally b&w. different facets of u eh?
i only wish the transition area of ur hair b/w the 2 halfs of ur head is more smooth - but of cos that's all personal preference!
will be interesting to see everybody's! thanks for organising it!
29 Oct 2008 5:34am
@Em!ly Ng: Cheers Emily!!! Yes, actually i did want that bit of edge to the hair to be more smooth and not so green -- but i haven't quite figured out many of the tricks in photoshop!! But you can bet i will know by the end of the week!!! ;) Cheers to you!!

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
I like the left side --you look more confident and determined, whereas on the right you seem a little diffident. Again, you look much different here than in your previous postings. I meant to participate but haven't had time to take any photos since I became aware of the theme. One thing your project has done is reveal that there are a lot of stunningly beautiful women posting at Aminus.
