congratulations, Wendy, nicely constructed story, even if a little sad :). By the way, have you seen the work of this Russian photographer? She creates great stories with pears, as well as with other inanimate objects like nails and chess figures. They come alive in her hands.

My life, without you...

I think that the tight crop hurt your composition (and the score). This type of shot needs some negative space in front of the person, where he looks, not behind him. And you chopped out a part of your foot, DPC does not forgive that :). Also, it feels that the focus was centered on the stone, not on your face. The person is kinda soft, but then you tried to sharpen it and went a little too far (there is a sharpening artifact on the back of the shirt)
