Thanks Dan!
BTW, if you want to know how your posture is, take a bunch of photos.... holy cow, the ones I've shared here are mostly ok, but some of the photos that I nixed right away are horrible! I need to work on standing up straight!

/thread drift start A physical therapist recommended the following two exercises for improving posture. She said just pulling back your shoulders and trying to stand straight won't work. Cat and Cow:. I do ten of the combination, alternating cat and cow. https://www.yogajournal.com/poses/cat-pose/ https://www.yogajournal.com/po.../backbends/cow-pose/ Opposite arm and leg raise. I hold the extension for a count of 7 and do five repetitions every day. http://www.golfloopy.com/arm-leg-raise-exercise/ Takes no time at all and I noticed a huge improvement in my posture. /thread drift end

Thanks Steve!! WTG, I will look at that, thank you! The difference in the photos where I'm standing up straight and the ones where I'm not are really something. I probably look 10 pounds lighter and 5 years younger in the photos I shared here compared to the slouchy/droopy ones! Yikes!

AdagioM, I just downloaded Snapseed and am fooling around with it, I think I should be ok. Thank you!

![]() Thank you!!!! BTW, I used the app AdagioM mentioned, Snapseed, and there's a "pop" option and also something like "face correction (mine shows up in Japanese, it might be named something else in English) Anyway, both of those make my neck look really dirty ![]() The portrait option is ok, and also the iPhone's "vivid" option isn't bad either. Maybe I'll send three versions (of same pic) to the publisher and let them choose. I think I'm going to go with 0802 that's by far the winner here and Mr SK likes it. He also likes my "professional" headshot from 4 years ago, but I just don't want to use that. I think I feel like I should use the most recent one possible....

I like 804 as you have a tilt to your head and it not quite full on face front.

What was the final choice and what was the fatal flaw? Inquiring minds want to know. Big Al

I have been told, imagine yourself holding a tray in front of you, palms up. Then rotate the hands outward so that the shoulder blades squeeze. | |||
