WOW!, it looks like I'm still in good company. I'll soon be 73 and have had minor balance problems all my life, source not found after several extensive tests, but its not in my ears. It hasn't been too bad, it mostly happens when I stand after sitting for awhile. I just went thru my second back (lower) surgery (the first failed) I'm out of the hospital 3 1/2 weeks and doing pretty well, very pleased so far. I haven't been out of my house much just yet, but look forward to grabbing a few 'snapshots' soon. I can't guarantee myself to be able to stand steady to take a shot, meaning I need to bone up on my landscape, carshow, boats, informal pretty girl shots (with permission of course) and the like. I wont list all the meds I take. I do have some diabetic nerve damage, but not much, but cataracts detract much more than that when it comes to my efforts at getting good shots. The pain I have is mostly from osteoarthritis, the only treatment for it, sadly, is pain meds. Gabapentin is helping, but seems to excite the pain part of the healing and can be unpleasant or worse. These things will get better over time, and my back is wonderfully more stable and doesnt demand much from the muscles and nerves that support it. If the world doesn't end and providence is willing, I hope that in nine months to a year, I will be able to take a road trip to the western U.S. and get new shots of the incredibly beautiful territory out there before its gone (or I am) lol. All the commentss and suggestions have been quite helpful to me today... but the best part is knowing I'm not the only one dealing with all this physical stuff, and I don't need to start feeling sorry for myself... (yet)lol. Thanks guys (and any gals I missed).

How much is shipping?

Thanks for a VERY much needed laugh today!!!!

For Grunge to work well the model needs to be completely grunge. This lady's styled hair (an old cap would work) and the fingernails just DONT fit the scene (work gloves?). The pose seems awkward to me, she doesnt seem to be in the mood for this. Maybe some suggestions to improve it will be forthcoming. good photo tho (lighting and exposure), keep trying, you have a good start.

I hope so Jim, I like your other stuff, a big shiny moon would be great. (I love moon pix) lol

Great shots Jim, looks like wall mounting would be possible and attractive... but you prolly already have a bunch up.

It is actually to keep it from freezing and to taste just a bit better when its really cold

Luv it!

Looks good to me, keep doing it, you'll get better quickly and get a kick out of your work. Lots of possibilities in this. And fun.

I agree with all the comments/compliments for both the model and your photo. Sometimes all the elements just come together to produce a timeless and superb image , this one is one of those. Thanks for sharing with us.

This would look great at about 20x30 0n a wall in a hallway. Great shot!

YES!, this version is terrific, catching the viewer's fancy and fantasy. Quite a good job all around (IMHO)

Looks good like it is to me, maybe some bokeh to blur the bed frame. The model looks as if she did the 'overstay in the sun' herself.
