1) In this photo you can see my face.
2) in that photo you can't see my face, you can only see my back.


How do I say the second sentence in a shorter way?

3) In that photo I'm turned with my back towards?


Thanks.

'In that photo I have my back to the camera.'

Please don't limit your titles to a single word. You can only see my back would have been good for this.

For the same reason, I have edited your other thread which was entitled 'Future'.

Dear Piscean, you quoted me above. Why did you skip my smilie at the end of this sentence then?
It sounds less critical ( or not at all) with a smilie :)

I don't mind it at all. If I myself was at ease with the language i wouldn't be here :)

I thought that ;) or :) would automatically convert to :) and ;-) As it happens on many sites nowadays.

Yes, Rover asked me not to use more than one question mark at the end of the sentence, then about smilies, now about giving the thread an appropriate name. That is why I eventually said "Oh.... Don't be so critical ;-)"
Feels like being back to school. :)
Rover, you never made such comments in the past back in BBC MB days, no one did, actually.
Anyway, as I said, your help is always appreciated. Thank you.

To a certain extent, on this forum, you are back at school! We are here to teach. We assume our learners our here to learn. They might not be children but they are still pupils/students.

It would be nice to end a sentence with the appropriate punctuation mark.
