ORANGE, a self-portrait

So I had some excellent luck at the thrift store the other day, and picked up a huge bolt of incredibly bright orange velveteen fabric. A trip to the grocery store for an orange and some crackers, plus a lovely felt hat from Frosting Couture made this ensemble perfect.

Originally, I was thinking that I would find an orange piece of clothing to wear for the shoot, but then realized that I would probably never wear it again, ever. So, off came the shirt (it wasn't even a complimentary color)! What I liked about this shot was that I set up the tripod so it was looking down on me, but then laid myself at an angle so as to make it seem like you can't really feel where gravity is supposed to be.

ORANGE #1

ORANGE #2

Which format do you like better--square, or rectangular? I think both work, but I can't make up my mind.
