I'm chastened, but I want to be clear that I wasn't suggesting that you
needed to establish eye contact to make that image work; I'd assumed
that you caught Mary Ellen in a blink or something of that order.  Now
that I know that she's blind, I see the portrait differently; it was
strong before; it's stronger now.

Cheers!

Thanks for your comments. They are always welcome.

Yea, it's tough. That's why another one of the top 4 favorite sayings is

Kyle's "Keep Clicking that Shutter, It Will Eventually Become Unstuck."
(or 
something like that)

(The other 3 are Shoot from the shadow side; one (prime) lens, one
camera, 
6 months; and If your picture sucks, then you are not close enough :-) )

BTW, not that it is an excuse, but Mary Ellen has been blind for well
over 
30 years, so getting eye contact would be hit or miss...

Thanks!
