Hello, You have been selected as one of my Daily 5! I shall be commenting on five random photos that don't yet have comments from the "Recently Uploaded" section of photo browsings, every day, as part of an effort to distance myself from negativity on DPC.
I just wanted to say that this thumbnail dragged me kicking and screaming in to look at it, and seeing the larger version wasn't a disappointment.
I like the subtle 'acid' treatment (have always been a minor fan of this method, when done right), and in this case, it really serves to bring some attention to the eye. An eye which screams at the viewer "I notice you there, and I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT".
One feels obligated to spend time with that eye, before finally noticing the rest of the shot. The face is cut off mid-line, adding a mystery. The pursed lips are simultaneously slightly sensual, yet foreboding, and the drop-off into a blurred background is like drifting off to sleep, but with the reminder of the discomfort, so perhaps dreams that will follow will haunt you.
However, morning shall always come, and the light shall always banish the dark, and things always look fresher when the air and the cobwebs of the mind have been cleared.
Things usually do turn out ok, but in the meantime, you have created a moment that captures a time when things weren't at their best, a moment that can be reflected upon, and remembered.
