Wow, are you on a roll lately. Congrats big time! Just a fantastic photo, so rich with meaning. Thanks for sharing your memory with us. As I looked at it, I thought "boy, I hope posthumous saw this." So congrats on winning that blue! You're probably making Don squirm - he doesn't usually like the ones that do well overall. *grin*

Great title! It's like we're seeing the last, desperate clutch at the surface by some poor milk being.

Your treatment of the background really adds to this - gives it a feeling of coming torment that you're facing head-on.

Spectacular lighting and pose. My only concern is that your clothes are so dark they come out as a big black space.

Oh, that's HILARIOUS. I mean, the facial expression plus the book is great, and then I notice the shirt. :) And just perfect lighting and composition. Well done all around!

Hey, hey! Your butterfly shot beat my bridge shot. :) The backlighting on the wings is just beautiful. Sorry you missed your guess by so much! :P

Lonely

Comment:
That's just beautiful and emotive. Terrifically lit, too. :) I usually don't get all "guy ogling the women" in my comments, but I have to say that a shot like this is going to make lots of guys want to help you through your loneliness (some women, too, probably!).

The wall on the left feels a little extraneous. Didja try it with the left wall cropped out, so your face is closer to the left edge? Just holding my hand up, I like that better - your dim, blurred feet in the distance visually balance your bright, clear face.
