self-photo-6.JPGself-photo-1.JPGHi all,

After a long and exhausting weekend of a very tough death and funeral, I have not been able to get on here and keep up with the goings on on TT.  I feel like I've been gone for ever!

I had a couple of photos taken of me and wanted to use one of them for my website, etc. etc.  Which one do you guys think is better?  Eventually I'd like to have a photo of myself among a myriad of bears, but for now I will fly solo....  What do you all think?  I guess this is a lot of bear folk's first look at me, too....

Thanks in advance for the input,
Kimberly W.

Oh my you are so - well-  young Kimberley bear_whistle
Having said that I think the first /top photo is excellent and sophisticated
the second makes you look full of fun
I think either would be just wonderful as you look a super nice person in both

Woowoo, Kim . . . you're beautiful!!  While I like both photos, I think I prefer the bottom one with your hair down -
your face shows up a little more.  Lovely you!

Neither - you are far too beautiful  bear_grin   bear_tongue   bear_laugh   bear_wub

I like the second one better, the sweater colour is good on you Kimberly.  bear_thumb

Maybe you could get rid of the background with a photo editing programme - that would put the focus on your lovely face - no i'm not kidding, you really are gorgeous.

Kim, I like the second picture as well as you look much more relaxed.  It's   also not as washed out and the colour of the sweater really suits you - you're a cutie pie! 

                                           Hugs,

Gee Kim, I can't decide! You're a beautiful girl and look great in both pictures. I like the top one because your smiling a little more, but I like the second one because your hair is down and you look more relaxed. Hmmm I guess I'm not much help, am I. bear_sad  Sorry!
I think either one would be great!

hugs,

Awww, thanks you all!  bear_wub   Those are such nice things to say (although I personally don't think so!  bear_ermm )  You are all so awesome and motivating!!

Anne,  I am actually 27, which is young when put in perspective... but I'm no spring chicken! lol 

I used to work at a Japanese restaurant not too long ago (less than a year ago) that my friends own, and the owner (and chef) was joking around about how we and someo f the customers we were serving we are going to drink after work, and one of the guys goes, "Yeah... You're not coming," to me, and I was like, "Gee thanks... why not?" and he was like, "Because... what are you, all of 17?" I wasn't sure if I should have been offended or flattered.

Kim, I'll asnwer that one for you - FLATTERED, always flattered LOL!  You're just a wee bit younger than my daughter, which I find interesting.  I pictured you a bit older, because of your posts.  Take it as another compliment - you sound so mature!   I guess I always form a rapid mental picture when I am talking on the computer to someone I have never seen.  Lately I've been waaaaaaay off!  Take care and bye for now.

                                                                   Hugs,

                                                                   Brenda

Both are great but I like your expression in the first one better, But I also like your hair down. So I guess I'm not much help either.

OK, NOT what I pictured you to look like at ALL!!!
You may look 17 but you often write with the wisdom of a 47 year old!
Please take that as a huge compliment!!!

Bottom one.  :dance:

...I'll echo everyone else and say the second one too   bear_grin  bear_grin  bear_grin

I have to agree with Penny, can you edit out the background a little??

Both of the pictures are great, Kimberly, but i think that on the first one your lips look too pale. I do prefer the second one, which is much more colourful.

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

Kim, I played around a bit in PhotoShop with your bottom photo, for about ten minutes, while drinking my morning coffee.  Will send results!

KimBearBottomsCOLORExtractedBackdropRetouched.jpgKimBearBottomsCOLORRetouchedBackgroundBLUR.jpgKimBearBottomsBWExtractedBackdropRetouched.jpglol, Shelli did an awesome job on the photos.  Thank you, Shelli!!!!!

Wow, the next time I need a little pick-me-up boost, I know where to come!

Thank you for the compliments on my 'maturity level'...  It's funny, I get that a lot.  I look like a kid, sound like a mature adult, and act anywhere in between.  Sometimes I get those silly hairs up my butt and just act soooo stupid!!  You should see me at work!

Kimberly W.

OH!  I almost forgot to show those great pics Shelli did!!  She is so awesome; she even took the darker circles out from under my eyes!  Those are compliments of getting up at 3:45 am every morning with less than 4 hours sleep.... yuck!
