More Mathilda May

A couple of quicker, looser Mathilda May pictures.

The first is based on a still from the movie "Naked Tango", which isn't as pervy a movie as it sounds. It is a beautifully photographed film, though, and I would recommend it to fans of good cinematography.

I don't know where the second one is from, but I wanted to show an older, and still beautiful, Mathilda. The actual size close up shows how I attempted to capture the character that time has added to her face.
