So here is my entry to Ritona's Tell Me More challenge. I was trying to think what really stands out about me to everyone and I narrowed it down to being very patient, somewhat quiet, and I can get through a 700 page book in under 48 hours. So I chose patience XD I wasn't sure if being able to read fast was a good trait. Reading is like breathing to me more so than a hobby or trait. My patience has been put to the test time and time again. I was in the hospital a lot last year, for about 2 months. Not two months straight, it was spread out, but still. I would like to think that I did handle it pretty well. I was a very healthy person, then all of a sudden I just wasn't -.- I have been told that I am really good with younger kids and can handle a situation pretty calmly. I think that you will always need patience and that you can develop a lot of it over time through all your day to day challenges.

So I found this beautiful scan a while back and decided to use it for this challenge. The girl just looked so calm and collected but her red eyes almost gave me the feeling that she has been through a lot, so I thought it fit. I sharpened the image a little bit, adjusted the contrast, and added a gradient to give the effect that light was shining on her from an angle. I hoped it turned out well... Hugs/comments are always appreciated. Take care
