Temporary State of Mind
by thrumyiis

Comment:
oh WOW .. this is BRILLIANT ..
such a statement on how we are so caged in in our own minds ..
loving this so much ..
it would be great if we could open that cage door as easily as we can a bird cage ..
i think the world would be a completely different place .. almost like the end of human suffering .. as its our own minds that create it .

The Negotiator
by mefnj

Comment:
its funny how we invest animals with an almost negative connotation .. especially skulls and such .. when in actual fact its us humans who are the ones who operate out of self interest and unconsciously ..
however ..
i really like what you have imagined into being with your photos and your editing skills .. and the message ..
the time factor .. you have only so long to make up your mind ..
but your mind seems to be boxed in ..
what a scary position to be in ..
especially if that negotiation involves your freedom ..

Water Under the Bridge!
by Judi

Comment:
this is WONDERFUL .. and i really like your take on that age old cliche/saying ..
i'm absolutely loving your edit on this .. your yummy tones are so appealing .. the orange and the blue ..
the buildings .. almost hanging by a 'thread' ..
and the surfers .. seem very confident that that bridge is quite stable .. i have my doubts ...

metamorphosis

Comment:
love the idea ..
i'm not sure which direction they are going .. are they morphing into real fish .. or are they morphing into their paper selves ..
good one .. :)

Betwixt and between
by markwiley

Comment:
this is visually very dramatic and appealing .. in some ways i would have preferred to see one side made less a reflection of the other .. more like a different world rather .. maybe a distorted reflection of one world ..
thats just my opinion ..
i'm pretty sure this will appeal to the voters .. it really has heaps going for it .. the silhouette of that person ... looks like he could be falling .. he's not going to either side .. but dropping .. i wonder what lurks down there .. good one ...

visually this is very pleasing .. and i'm liking the weird factor .. however i'm not sure of the 'story' here .. and what you are trying to convey ..

You Can Never Leave
by Refocused

Comment:
quite the statement ..
and if that is the voice in her head then it will be the truth ..
the thing is .. she can leave ..
thats one of the sad facts of life .. we tell ourselves stories that we believe .. but those stories are really only a 'fiction' .. we have the power to change them ..
the trouble is that we often dont realize that we have that power .. and even finding out that we have the ability to change them .. it still can be difficult to re-write that story ..
this is depressing real .. and very powerful ..

Going Home
by grahamgator

Comment:
this brought tears to my eyes .. and i am having difficulty trying to stop them .. i lost my best friend only a very short time ago .. the grief has been pretty extreme .. seeing this i hope is like a message to me .. that she is happy now .. as i wasnt sure .. having nightmares where she was terrified and in pain .. it was devastating ..
this is very powerful and so emotive .. the old body .. its carried this soul as long as it can .. now its time to release that soul ..
i love that he's on a road .. the journey leading to something wonderful ..
