Description Where am I heading to?
Where are my steps leading me to?

It seems I'm following some route,
yet, something seems out of place.
Maybe I should have taken
another turn at some crossroads.

Feels like my dreams
are drifting away from me
instead of coming closer.

Everything seems just right in my life...
yet... how could this be?
Have I taken a wrong turn somewhere?

It feels like i'm not following my destiny.
What have I done wrong?

I'm confused and lost.

No one knows what's in store for them
each day that dawns.
I should find my destiny
before it's too late.

In photoshop: very little brightness and contrast.

I just wanted to say i love it, but i'm not able to say why... Hard to say what element of this great pic makes me feel it's beautiful.
Maybe the this little dress... Maybe the colours you used... Maybe the shadows effects...

Anyway, that's a very original and poetic idea, congratulations!

Α-χα, να και μια καλή ερμηνεία για τη σκιά στον τοίχο!..Ίσως να δοκίμαζες κάποιο φίλτρο για περισσότερη θολούρα πάνω στην κούκλα, κατά τ'άλλα πολύ όμορφο. Και ταιριάζει γάντι με το ποίημα!
Μπράβο και στις 2 σας!
