Don, I have gone through you essay twice and really enjoyed it. The last line "...though all the time I̢۪m here" brought everything home.

I can't really critique the content of your essay because poetry, with actual words, is something I know little about. Music lyrics are about the extent of my knowledge. What I did see was some strong relationships between your images and the associated verse. I was rather critical of your first attempt at this essay. It's a remarkable transformation and I'm glad you were inclined to rework it. Well done and congratulations!

Don, your photographs are wonderful on their own but now that you have added your poetry I am left gobsmacked. I have been through this lovely illustrated poetry essay a few times and I will have to revisit it after spending some time thinking about it.

Also, I like the way you have set your essay up. If it's not too much trouble before the February essay would you mind posting how you did that? Thank you.

Best title of the challenge.

I'm confused as to why you would crop the image with the subject's face on the border. It is a portrait challenge. This looks like a poor composition choice, or possibly a mistake.

Not quite in focus, and probably not the best angle to shoot it from either.
