Comment by Brad:
The title certainly is well-suited to this image.
It's dreary, dismal, lonely.
I have mixed feelings on the textures and such added here, as I think it went a little too far for my tastes, and actually reminds me of a water-damaged picture that was stuck to another.

Comment by CNovack:
Love this portrait shot! The lighting cast upon the subject is soft and complementry. It illuminates exactly what it needs too at the same time shining the spotlight upon the main subject. I look upon this photograph and can almost think of it as a portrait painting - a study on the life of a dancer/ballerina. All those shoes that she holds represent all her experiences as a dancer - all the untold hours spent practicing and perfecting her craft. Very visually interesting and compelling to look upon.

I love this shot! I love it because it portrays your feelings for each other perfectly and because my mom is also MY bext friend and this is exactly how I feel too. A great shot! You are both very cool looking. Love the pose. :o)This is a 10 for sure!

Hmm... while I really like the photo itself, I'm not sure how I feel about the texture / overlay thing going on. I think it possibly distracts the eye from the image as a whole. Just my opinion.

um, interesting....did you use some sort of texure on this? is that even legal? I'll give you the benefit of a doubt. But whatever that texture throughout the image is from, i think it distracts from what would otherwise be quite a god picture.
