Belated Merry Christmas,hope you are doing well and holidays/festive season are all good.
Here's to a great new year,
Desmond.

Saw your image a few times today and was prompted to come here and ask how you are doing.Notice you haven't put up any new work lately.
Hope all is well and that your creative muse hasen't deserted youas it seems to have for me lately.
Keepin touch,your friend Desmond.

Thank you very much :)

ooo effective use of space. My eye's start at the brick then follow to the bird which brings me to the field of green

A dancers hand. hmmm not what i envisioned at first but that is one of my favorite "new" photo's. Although it hasn't been rated and not many people commented on it...thats something that needs to happen more often on this site

Thanks for the compliment. It actually was a shirt...and a sweatshirt. However, they've been sold out for a couple of years now.

Things aint working too good on this site lately 'cause lots of nuiance things are occurring which is bothersome to put it mindly.Do I sound like I'm speaking in cliches?
Any how my messaging and comments are screwd up,I just found your comment mixed in among others from a later date !! go figure.
It's always touchy passing a comment on a work of expression:is it personal,objective,a result of an academic assignment,is it self explanatory and is the question questionable ? ! ? !
I was obliged to return to your work to rekindle the spirits that caused me to write what was said and then I saw it ,the last two lines..."Let out the secret,That I've been holding onto."
It seemed to me that if one was so passionate about an impending expectation that its fruition would naturally lead to another vaunted expression of self/universal discovery.I know I'm crazy but its fun to explore words by sharing and discussing them as we see it but always open to change and new more empathetic understanding.

But I think you are a bit like me in so far as you write from the center,essentially the feelings you express come from

Intriguing! Just wondering if there will be more
stanzas to this or a follow up poem?

So far this is my favorite shot. From the contrast of the colors to the hair and eccentric jewelry..just a splendid shot. The background is so natural and fits well with her skin tone and clothing which is nearly the opposite. She looks completely beautiful and and naturally sexy. I also like the lack of heavy makeup. Her shiny lips depicting it's fullness is all she needed. Great choice not to display in b/w. The colors make the shot. Great, great pic!

Personally, i would have enjoyed seeing this shot in it's opposite format. With the gentleman being unforcused while the background was focused. It would have illustrated a more complex vision. His expression and what he's thinking is very passive due to his smooth jawline and lack of squint in the eyes. It would have elevated his expression had he not be in focus. I'm not artist but that's what I see.
