Broken Lens
The glasses fall.
The lens crack, but
do not shatter.
The eyes of the wearer
go unfocused, seeing only a blur.
The eyes frantically flicker around,
searching for the clarity they no longer have.
they single out the cracks, eyeing them,
noticing every intricate fault.
Seeing only the brokenness, and not
the beauty beyond.
The eyes once saw in full, clear, detail
trees, flowers, waterfalls, and all of nature.
The eyes once saw a Father smiling to a Son.
The eyes once saw fullness, completeness.
They once saw beyond themselves.
Now all they see
are the cracks.
All they see, all they focus on,
are broken lens.

"Take an artistic photo of a brick or multiple bricks. There can be other items in your photo but the focus must be on the bricks and it must take up at least 75% of the photo."
In your shot the focus isn't on the bricks.........focus is on the stone
sorry! it is my opinion
well, mazanda, you're right, it is just your opinion 
and, of course you have right to have it, but focus here right on the bricks, but not on the stone, that is just laying there.
