| I wouldn't think you would have any worries...you are way to beautiful to stay single...and this is a pretty old shot...don't know if things have changed for you or not. Either way...your pretty even when you cry. |

| Very brave image. I have wanted to do this same thing but I am too self-conscious. We have all been there with a broken heart. Sometimes the grief is too much to bear. |

| When I saw this shot in the list I was stunned ... it is an extremely beautiful shot ... and creates what all pictures should a real emotional response. Horrid that this has happened ... But it is awesome you have chosen to share. |

Cindi, first of all this is a very emotive and well executed shot. I applaud you for being brave enough - human enough - to share it with us.
Now about the single problem....did you know there are something like 5 single guys to eveyr single woman here in Alaska/ And since I'm not looking , you can have my 5 too. Now come on over here, get your hug, and go find yourself an Alaskan. {{hug}} |

Aww, I'm gonna cry :-(
Some guy is gonna be lucky when he stumbles across the amazing Cindi :0)
*crosses fingers, let it be me* ... Love ya Cindi *hugs*
Had to add more, because I really can't take my eyes off of this. Such a tender moment showing here for us all to see. It takes a wonderful person to open herself up at her most vulnerable moments. It's really a touching photo - one that even with years of photojournalism experience is tough to capture of another person, let alone one's self. I applaud you Cindi.

| This reminds me of Daffy Duck's magic trick. I don't remember the details exactly, but it was quite spectacular. He basically blows himself up. It's a real showstopper, but he can only do it once. You've managed to take a very emotional photograph simply by photographing yourself when you're very emotional. It works quite well. It has that tension for the viewer that most good photographs have: how did she do it? how did she capture this moment, which looks so fragile, so unselfconscious? Of course, as an artist, you can't keep beating yourself to create the emotion you need. But a moment like this, captured as it is, can be a guidepost for you on your road to being an artist, which is a road I believe you're on, because this is not the only guidepost of yours that I've seen. Look back at this photo and think of it as a standard you have set for emotional honesty, emotional frankness, even when you are finding the emotion in a bowl of fruit. |

Men are pigs. *ouch!* I think Shannylee threw a rock at me. :)
Hope you're able to keep smiling, Cindi. You are an awesome woman who anyone would be lucky to have a relationship with. I'm not much good at encouraging people, but I guess I can at least jump on the *hugs* bandwagon.
Hang in there, Cindi. |

Dear Cindi, You have such energy that I am not really worried cause I know you will come out of this even stronger!!!
Thanks for showing your emotions, your expression makes me so vulnerable cause I've been going through alot of stuff lately (but not about the heart). I really want to cry... |

best. one. yet.
why? because it's you. not a character, or an act. It's you, and it's real. It's no longer art imitating life, it's life becoming art. |

EVERYTHING happens for a reason Cindy, and this is but a short stop along your path to happiness. You are a strong, confident, and VERY talented woman, who also happens to be beautiful. Enjoy the things in life that ARE good - your children, your health, a gorgeous sunset... and all of the many friends here who wish you the best.

| This is beautiful. It is real and it is true. I remember after the first week of this challenge you spoke of your new b/f seeing your sp's...and you were going to great lengths to make sure they were good. And now this. This is heartbreaking...I often sat here at the computer thinking of you and how you were bending over backwards for him...and they were YOUR sp's! Well now Cindi...take the photos for you. No one else. You are beautiful....you might not agree...but trust me. You are! Don't let them get you down. |

Oh, Cindi, I'm so sorry. You've shared part of the story with us, so I know how hard this must be. Hang in there! Hug your kids, spoil yourself, and just keep telling yourself happier times will come. *hug*
Edited to add: it's still a very well-done picture. Even in your sadness, your talent shines through!

i love that when I look at your eyes there still seems to be this spark of hope. I'm serious!! By looking at the mouth and the hair and of course the tears..... I see pure sadness.... but lookin' at the eyes I can tell that you're still hangin in there and and don't feel completely defeated.
PS: boys suck, throw rocks at them :) :) :)

| Guess that makes 3 of us. This has been pretty much my mood for months, but for a slightly different reason. I want to be single, but the big D is being dragged out. Been separated since January and I want the whole thing to be over. But my life has been turmoil. Thanks for opening up with us and shoing how you are feeling. |
