When I saw this shot in the list I was stunned ... it is an extremely beautiful shot ... and creates what all pictures should a real emotional response. Horrid that this has happened ... But it is awesome you have chosen to share.

Cindi, first of all this is a very emotive and well executed shot. I applaud you for being brave enough - human enough - to share it with us.

Now about the single problem....did you know there are something like 5 single guys to eveyr single woman here in Alaska/ And since I'm not looking , you can have my 5 too. Now come on over here, get your hug, and go find yourself an Alaskan. {{hug}}

Aww, I'm gonna cry :-(

Some guy is gonna be lucky when he stumbles across the amazing Cindi :0)

*crosses fingers, let it be me* ... Love ya Cindi *hugs*

Had to add more, because I really can't take my eyes off of this. Such a tender moment showing here for us all to see. It takes a wonderful person to open herself up at her most vulnerable moments. It's really a touching photo - one that even with years of photojournalism experience is tough to capture of another person, let alone one's self. I applaud you Cindi.

Comment by posthumous:
This reminds me of Daffy Duck's magic trick. I don't remember the details exactly, but it was quite spectacular. He basically blows himself up. It's a real showstopper, but he can only do it once. You've managed to take a very emotional photograph simply by photographing yourself when you're very emotional. It works quite well. It has that tension for the viewer that most good photographs have: how did she do it? how did she capture this moment, which looks so fragile, so unselfconscious? Of course, as an artist, you can't keep beating yourself to create the emotion you need. But a moment like this, captured as it is, can be a guidepost for you on your road to being an artist, which is a road I believe you're on, because this is not the only guidepost of yours that I've seen. Look back at this photo and think of it as a standard you have set for emotional honesty, emotional frankness, even when you are finding the emotion in a bowl of fruit.

I SEE YOU!!!! Is that a take off on the one elsapo did? I don't understand how it's done, but it's effective and such a pop of sunshine with that face. I'm not awake yet and that helped. ;~D

This is a really fun image. I really like how your fingers are coming out of the frame. Great wide eyed expression. Only thing I don't care for is the bottom of the framed image. but everything else works rather nicely.
