Oh I'm not 'not ecstatic' at all. I'm happy with the pic, don't get me
wrong. Also, I think my definition of nice girl is not being interpreted
as I intended. I meant a 'nice looking' girl, as in nice to look at.
She's very intelligent, fun and sensual person, very open minded, up for
a challenge, and if I was 20 years younger I'd be buying her a drink
right now ;-)

The soul you see coming out of the pic is what I wanted, but it is also
true to say that it is also what she wanted - otherwise she might be
smurking, smiling, grinning, whatever.

Glad you liked it.


Cheers,
  Cotty
