2nd place
Without by LynEve

Drummer_girl: Very "deep" image in so many ways, a great narrative to accompany it too Lyn!

casechaser: I especially like "Without" in black and white (and gray). You set a tone and spiritual meaning with it.

The loved one is first seen in black and then in gray, as if he is leaving his earthly body as is in movement towards the light.

Possibly July 31st is an anniversary date and one which will always be the memory for the reality of this day. If so, love the memories, allow them to play over and over again. The companionship, once enjoyed in reality, will continue to be shared in the fond memories of your mind.

Bless you Lyn. ~~ John

biffobear: I would say your best to date..A work of art indeed...R.

Jimbobedsel: Art museum stuff, John. Excellent!

purmusic: Nice one, John.

Thumbnail caught my eye in and amongst the new images.. and here I be.

Interesting to me, in that in employing a warmer palette, which seemingly (and might) contradict the visual message of sorts ... that is, until one reads your accompanying narrative.


Her mouth (area) is a tad more prominent. Curious if by design, creative aim?

And the additional texturing is exquisite. The final image is very polished.


And but of course, thank you for sharing this thought provoking piece with us.


p.s. Any use of displacement maps?

Looks to be, and if not and for your creative future consideration.. here you go, in case unawares:

Photoshop Tutorial: Displacement Maps

Loads of other tutorials out there as well, the above one is quite succinct and concise.
