Without by LynEve

Foxfire66: Powerful Image Lyn...
With your explaination in mind.
Excellant.

Very thoughtful...and well worked. A Fav.

Roseman_Stan: "Within grief the mind and body are full, overflowing with pain and hurt.
Without is the blank space left when something loved is lost, or a dream ended.
Through the hurt nothing can be seen but the void, the emptiness, and we must wait for the light of acceptance."

So very true Lyn. Excellent work. My prayers walk with you Lyn and thus so does my spirit..... Excellent image. Faved.

The unfortunate by Zethus

allisontaylor: Definitely a solitary empty mood. Yet the lighting and shadows do invite the viewer to be included.. Excellent thought provoking glimpse into the scene.

0930_23: I never took it as appealing in any manner Floris. I think it is a good contest entry. It is so sad and it leaves an empty feeling for those who care. I think the Unfortunate were called the Forgotten during The Great Depression.
On a side bar, I once lived in a town in Iowa named Floris.
Good luck in the contest.

Shattered by casechaser

icedancer: This is a really unique creation and like the colours.

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

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.
