It's beautiful. And I know the feeling.... Today is the first time I experienced it... Wonderful.... ='(

Thank you Wlado! I'm sorry for you, for you also know the emptiness left is greater than words can say or images can show...

beatiful image , but in my opinian it could work better if u go more black on curves in backgroud, to make a bigger contrast with the ligth from above, i also went to this feeling and not only once,nice work and good luck

Thank you for your suggestion Mario Silva Good idea! I hardly ever use curves, but I think levels will do... I'll give a try.

Changed... Really, looks more dramatic now.

I commend you for putting the emotion into the image.

Very emotional, great work

The hopi indian prayer helped me deal with many losses, if you haven't heard it, it goes like this: "Do not stand by my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle Autum's rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand by my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die. My spirit is still alive....."

Thank you spygirl! I didn't know about that indian prayer, but it goes with my way of thinking... Really beautiful and true

Beautiful and sad. Glad you explained step 6 in SBS. I was wondering about the opacity of the top section of her body and gown versus the bottom. Best of luck to you.

Thanks I am glad you read that.

Nice concept, but the figures are too big...

hey dis one is really nice,vry touching too......................all da bst

Art imitates life? Graduate student at Yale U. Nice idea but yeah, people are too big. If he were walking across the bridge, the rail would only reach his knees.

This actually made me laugh...I'm sorry if that was not your intent. It made me think of the situation of woman trying to push the man in a relationship for marriage...and 'here she goes again'....

That man is a giant! Good luck! Like the concept.

Just shrink 'em and you'll have a great entry...

I've been gone all day doing photography :p At first I thought this was a foot bridge, but maybe not. I will try shrinking it a bit later.

shrunk... much better. Guess it wasnt a footbridge afterall

Very nice feel. I would make a story out of this image Good Luck

I think you need to try to match all the colours together, and add a few more shadows for the heart, the knife and the baby. Good luck!

thank you will make changes.

while this is a very emotional piece... You could make the message even clearer if you changed the chair into a rocking chair and made the knife less commercial looking,, (a dagger would be more emotional then a serrated steak knife and a rocker would connect the baby with the rocking heart.. but this is your vision.. so TAKE THIS ONLY AS A SUGGESTION... if this is the vision you wanted.. then by all means stick with it.. Just trying to help and god bless

EDIT: Sorry.. didn't look close enough to the high res.. but the DAGGER is MUCH better... once again.. god bless

it is a rocker. Golemaura... it was ment as the chair a mother would feed and nurse a newborn.. i love the idea of changing the knife. thanks.

thanks for the feed back i like the dagger better

beautiful work but i got to go cry now

i didn't even need to read your beautiful poem to see your sorrow! My heart goes out to you ! I love your image , good luck !

the sand below the chair is too mucha diff color from the dry ground other then that.. it takes time to give it a place but you wotn forget it...

thank you everyone for taking the time to comment. Eladine.. the colour under the chair is suppose to the the river of tears... hence the colour difference... thanks for the feedback.

Too contrived, but not bad.
