One Way
by Lydia

Comment:
i'm wondering if this is a comment on the religious view that the only way to God is one way .. !! .. i believe that there are as many ways to God as there are ppl on this planet ..
but i do like the way your photo is telling a 'story' .. what a great catch ..
in fact .. bloody brilliant .. sorry for the swearing .. i'm sure God will forgive me .. ;)

Twins Divided

hey Nikki .. just noticed you mentioned me in the tiniest violin ..
i'm very surprised this didnt do better ..
there are quite a few that surprised me in this challenge that should have got way higher scores ..
i think the low voters were out in force .. altho i dont often check .. but i did in this challenge ..
i got two votes of 3 and two votes of 4 .. sometimes its like a little kick to the guts when you dont understand why .. even accounting for tastes ..
so onto a more positive note .. i loved reading what you wrote in the photographer's comment .. especially this bit ..
"However, the inherent symbolism also emphasizes that, though we may differ - and differ strongly - on so many issues, we are yet united; at the core, we are but one." ..
can you imagine what our world would be like if a huge percentage of the population believed that truth .. we are all one .. there would be no place for greed and fear .. and getting ahead at the expense of others ...
if we treated each other like brothers and sisters it would open the doors to love ..
hopefully .. !! .. ;) .. xx

Gabby .. i felt absolutely sure this would ribbon or be in the top five at least ..
this challenge has really surprised me .. altho i shouldnt be surprised .. the voters .. are so random .. and often what i see at rollover just doesnt make sense .. even accounting for different tastes ..
anyway .. congratulations on such a perfect image .. and one that i imagine would look amazing printed .. i'm sure your friend loved this to pieces .. !! .. xx
