i am very sorry for your loss. Our family lost a relative/friend 2 yrs ago and he is still spoken about by so many people. He was only 20 when he died. I feel for you and all who knew him. My best hugs and thoughts go to you

I thought this one was yours, Julia.
It's hypnotic. I wouldn't say sinister, but there is something about it that keeps me restless.
The very warm colors against the cold, marble-like feel of the skin, the over-saturated look of the eyes, the weird looking shadows...

not everything of your friend's words were clear to me, but just one short and very simple sentence of it is enough for a life time:
"I believe in the friendship, the kisses, rain, the smiles and the secrets".

Shouldn't we all?

Those striking eyes remind me of National Geographic's famous portrait of the Afghan girl, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so. I do wish the focus was a bit sharper- all the crisp detail seems to be in the hair.

I love this photo. My top pick. Did you use a layer without the eyes to apply blur?
