Beata 080

"What's been did and what's been hid" is a line associated with folk (and later, pop) star Donovan from the 1960's and 1970's. The line is appropriate to the series of portraits taken during the photo shoot with beautiful Beata in the gardens of Bunratty Castle. The glasses were made by Christian Olivier and my guess is that their first owner spent a small fortune on them. Alas, fortune was not on our side during this series. Shaky hands and lots of reflection in the lenses forced me to select only two portraits here out of a dozen taken. Anyway, this and the preceding portrait came out fine so I count my blessings. Note the lying "C" under the model's eyes. This is no trick - simply the way portraits like this come out of the camera. Big compliment to Beata for her magnificent way of posing!
