Ok, so in the last free study, I received a comment on my entry that really inspired, encouraged me, etc. to continue on the rough path that I seem to follow :-)
You see, for some, a free study is a time to do what they do well and seek out that highly coveted little .gif ribbon, ...and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. But for me, free study means a time for me to break the fetters that chain me during the weekly challenges, in which I learn and practice techniques, etc and try to get a good 'grade' or score for my efforts. It means a time that I can experiment, and try new things, or new places, or forge into unexplored territory. To perhaps take a direction that I am just starting to head into, testing the waters and maybe trying to find and put a little of my 'own' identity into photos. And to see if maybe there are one or two people out there that can relate to this feeling, or maybe I am just sucking :-)
Anyways, here it is. I would like very much to hear anything that you may have to say about it. Tell me that you find something stimulating here, or tell me that I am full of it and this is the worst photo you've ever been forced to view, it's all good in the end. Thanks for checking out my pic :-)

Only I understand your title. Even you don't understand it. That is why your picture came from a hole in my brain. As the Lord of Oblivion, it is my royal duty to award you a 10.
