When I feel low, and I mean really low, this is exactly what I feel like. Notice the square spotlight and how it is reflected on both the x and y axis. All three dimensions have a darkness with a square hole in it. All three dimensions are isolated from each other.

The floor is aware of her presence, hints of a shadow/reflection, but she is not aware that the floor is aware. There is a sense here that sorrow, like everything else, has an ending.

The Ballerina

I make my body art.
I make my body lines
and fine French words.
I make my body lives
and terrible deaths.
I make my body not a body
but a story.

My body is not me.
My body speaks
but I am silent to you
and my heart
is in the dressing room.

Let her open her
heart, her ease
ready grass,
a green odyssey.

Letter opener,
arteries,
red egress--
agree not to see.

I added this as a favorite a while ago and every time I turn to my favorites my eyes go straight to this one and I smile. This is a picture that really grows on you. Something that would look great on the wall!

I also like to go to this photo to cheer me up!

A Fan Killed at a David Cassidy Concert

The mountain of your eyes,
impassably beautiful,
cannot distinguish me.

I cannot imagine
you could ever accept
my kisses.

In this way
you are like dying,
a crossing improvised

in desperation,
and only in darkness
can I meet your gaze.

Rural Graffiti

Comment by sfalice:
Greetings from the Critique Club

Interesting image with lots to look at and composed so that it is a pleasure to linger. I like the way it is stopped at top and bottom with darkness (and I looked at it many different ways on my monitor).

You selected a good crop here, I think.

I also like the way you made your lens work in your favor in this image by having the towers lean in towards something strong in the middle. The bleakness indicated by the strong black & white, coupled with the graffiti make this a good, compelling image.

Considering the tough field of competition in this Challenge, I'll just say, "Good one" and let it go at that.

Keep up the good work, and a reminder: there's always room in the Critique Club for people of your caliber if you have a little time to spare.
