SPC: Self Conflict
I’ve always had this little problem. Indecisiveness. Surely it’s something that I have gotten better at, over the years, but at times I still feel my inability to decide something take over. Fear of failure? Perfectionism? I don’t know what it is exactly?
The three photos that I picked for this week’s Self Portrait Challenge all have something that I like about them. I love the contrast in treatments, the contrast in my skin tone, lip color and hair color, and the contrast in expressions. Maybe this is one time where my indecisiveness is a good thing.
But the real secret to total gorgeousness is to believe in yourself, have self confidence, and try to be secure in your decisions and thoughts.

I’m a terrible decider, but I think it’s because I want it all. ;) These are all beautiful, Mishi. The last one is my favorite, though, if I had to decide.

That’s my hot wife. :)

I am horribly indecisive too when it comes to myself, but I love the middle one the best, and love the fact that your hubby came on to comment :)

Hello, I just found you. Your pictures are beautiful. And I like the comment you have at the end. Iris

The eyes are a window on the soul – yours especially. #1 brings out the eyes so nicely .. and the little curlique of hair is cute. :)

It’s funny — I like the first one in black & white the best, by far. I guess it’s a good thing you posted all three!!

I’m not entirely sure why, but your image in the third photo reminded me of Gillian Anderson. That’s a compliment, btw. ;) I think the 2nd one was quite artistic & I’m just a fan of black & white, so I can see why you’d have a hard time deciding. I like ‘em all!

They’re all great! The black and white is really beautiful, but so is the softness of the other two….I can see your dilemma! Great Job!

Once again a great job on the self-portraits! The first one is my favourite though.

I like them all – but I LOVE the last one, Mishi. Just love it.

All three are great, as always, but I find myself liking #3 the best.
Indecisiveness is the trait in myself I like the LEAST – the other – not being sure of the correct spelling of words such as indecisiveness.

Wow – the contrast on that first one is so striking and clear…a whole different view of the prism of yoU! and the second one – almost looks like a dream – a whole other angle of that view! The third one really lets expression dominate and again flips that perspective!great job – I loved your indecisiveness and wouldn’t have had it any other way! Ahhh pooohee ‘total gorgeousness’ through secure decisions –total gorgeousness is letting us see it all like this!

I love the B&W of you, I enjoy the stark contrast of your shirt and your hair. Beautiful. I especially love your quote. I need to memorise this one.
Btw, I have an award for you on my blog. You totally deserve it.

Very nice, all of them! Your indecisiveness paid off, as the photos themselves provide contrast between each other.

I like them all but the middle one really lights YOU up!

I can’t even choose a favorite…absolutely GORGEOUS in all of them!

Here I am two weeks later with an opionion. Althought they all three are good. I think the second is best. You look softer, more appoachable in it. Yet there is still the mystery of who is she really — the eyes say you invite one over to find out. Yes, I definitely like the second picture best. [Now I'm sure you are going to change your blog photo because of that. ;D (that's a wink btw)]
