Penitent repentant, contrite. I'm penitent. Maybe it comes with age.
Love this, and I think it fits the Grunge theme very well. Was the choice of the martini glass shirt intentional? LOL Keep them coming this one is great.

There is an antique quality to this. I love it! Great job.

Comment by SaraR:
I am ashamed and appalled to see that I gave this a 4. I don't understand, as the photo is strong, and the quote motivating. I remember thinking when viewing it that I was on the negative side of ambivalence regarding the font, and that I wished the tide-smoothed sand extended right to the left, but those are nit-picks. All I can claim is a moments insanity (or I pressed the wrong button) - can I be forgiven, Bear?....

Comment by kaiser_chief:
The phrase fits the image really well, but is not inspiring me to do anything. The sky in the photo is huge, made even more so by the crop at the bottom with a litmited foreground, yet the entire image lacks a focal point, which is effective for the phrase, but doesn't really leave a lasting impression.
