Description


    It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling.  When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more.  It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.

—George Bernard Shaw



  
Intolerance of your present condition can ignite changes just as tolerance of your current conditions will prevent changes.

Do not take less when you want more.


With warmth,

Terry

Superb image Terry. Black, white, and a pinch of polyamory (shaken not stirred) is the perfect tonic. [link] Or not ... different strokes 'n all. LOL

I appreciate your taking the time to share your impressions .. and for taking her home with you to hang on the wall.

Thank you for that smile, Silver!

I am sorry for the long lapse in getting back to you!
  If it feels better .. just throw the nearest heavy object in my direction.

Know that I appreciate your taking the time to share your impressions.

With warm regard,

good work but my suggestions is to change eyes color reduce a little bit skin bump and increase lips bump and place the light in front of her
anyway the hair is perfect

Hello, Yassine!

Apologies for the great delay in responding!
I am off site for weeks at a time periodically.  Catching up on correspondence is ever an uphill challenge .. as new messages keep flowing in.

Thank you for sharing your impressions!  I appreciate this.
What inspires my adventures in this medium is a pursuit of creating portraits which appear like elder film-based photographs.

In this quest I often moved and guided more by the overall mood of a work than any other consideration.  There comes a time when the portrait just feels right.  If I keep messing around that feeling will change and I'll never post it at all.  More portraits have never been seen by anyone else than have been exhibited .. with just as many deleted and let go of.

Most often I work for that moment when the vision is "all very right .. so very right."  Whether I will always feel that way about a work, I can not say .. but then there is always some new vision to chase after.   

With warm regard,

Terry
