Photography 101: Triumph
I figured that Lady Liberty needed a bit of a touch-up, so I decided to help her…. Please, meet Lady Pliberty.
This is not what I would call a photography project, but a photo-montage… still I hope it will provoke some laughs. This is the final post in this Photo 101 challenge ending with the theme of triumph.
Now honestly, isn’t she twice the lady she used to be?

Lovely little touch of lipstick to bring Lady Liberty into the present age, in which no self respecting celebrity would be seen in public without makeup. 🙂 Love this song, and it’s most appropriate. Happy weekend, Paula. xx

The French are to blame for that. I am surprised that my face morphing went on so seamlessly….I believe you are the second person today that hasn’t noticed face blending. Maybe you are watching on a small screen like Sue S.

Twice the lady – but not very feminine! She looks as if she could take on all the demons in your life and knock them into shape. As always your photo is so beautifully defined. I hope you’re enjoying a restful weekend.

This is true- she is a lady, though not very feminine. You have noticed something that nobody else did – she is a tough one, and you have no idea how grateful I am. I have complained before of some visitors and I will say it again here – why do some people visit my posts if they are as blind as a bat I don’t know. 😦
