2nd place
Without by LynEve

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.

Shattered by casechaser

zunazet: It's a gorgeous work of art to be sure.

Congrats on the contest placement and being promoted to the Main gallery. Just goes to show the C-index is not every thing.

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:

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