But seriously, it is a good shot.

You have to take crappy pictures. You probably failed.

Wot he sed!

The girl failed too, because she wore lousy shoes. Kills the effect at one fell swoop. Unless that was the effect she wanted.

Life is full of little things to trip you up, just like that dumb mast I tripped over a couple of weeks ago in the local marina. I still have a scab at both knees and the palm of my left hand, upon which I skated on landing, is still sore if I use it to hoist myself out of bed. Which I do, because as a creature of habit, I can't sleep on the other side of the bed. It would be emotionally impossible to do.

;-(

... lousy shoes...

OMG, indeed! What has the world come to!? Sliders and black socks with that dress and that body!?

You'll never make a successful voyeur: the moment the eyes are closed is the moment you seize and look where you really want to look, through that backlit skirt!

Alternatively, always wear shades, like I do, which has the ~~secondary~~ added benefit of protecting your eyes from radiation cancers.
