Description
full view please.here I go again
slipping further away
letting go again
of what keeps me in place
I like it here
but it scares me to death
there is nothing here
the light is beautiful
but I`m darker than light
and you are wonderful
but this moment is mine
I find comfort here
because I know what is lost
hope is always fear
for the pain it may cost
and I have searched for the reason to go on
I`ve tried and I`ve tried
but it`s taking me so long
I might be better off
closing my eyes
and God will come looking for me
In time
all of this dust
all of this past
all of this over and gone
and never coming back
all of this forgotten
but not by me.
Sarah Bettens - "All of This Past"
Description: I took this last week. I`ve been wanting to do a picture like this for a while. To me, pictures that do not show eyes can bring more meaning to a picture. It brings more mystery and question. The random hairs are supposed to be there also and you can see my freckles at the top.
The original, I did not like. But after editing I actually liked it. I changed it to black and white, changed the brightness/contrast and added a border.

The first thing I noticed about this image was the prominent position of your lips and head, which seem titled back in either a moment of pleasure or death. The softness of your face is wonderful against the sharpness of your hair spattered about. The framing works, but I would have liked to see a bit more on the left and at the bottom. The detail of the image is nice, but the stark presence of your nose hair turns me off from the emotion of the image. A bit of work with subtly darkening this area (you obviously lightened the image, but made too much of a wide stroke when dealing with your face) might have made a much more cohesive piece.
It looks better in the preview than it does full screen.

The picture was taken that way. I did not crop it or anything.
I only changed the image to black and white or grey scale and i softened it a little and contrasted it a tad.

This to me, seems to be such a sweetly sensual image. The parted lips, the way that lock of hair falls across them... so very beautiful, this one.

At first glance, I almost mistook your shot for this really great artist (I'd tell you who it is but I can't spell it). You've really improved since I started watching you.

What nice lips you have.
Plus i never noticed you had frekles.
Great angle and if it's a macro very nicely done, if it's not a macro very nicely done.
All around great work Lauren.

I really like this shot. It reminds me of the gasp of breath one takes when they surface after being underwater for long period of time. It has a sort of despiration behind it. Very nicely done babe.

i'm glad to see you taking some different shots. this is definately interesting... the shape of your lips is lovely and the extra strands just add to it... i almost get a feeling of raw passion when i look at it, maybe because of how your mouth is opened and your head tilted up
