Hmm... this is powerful - obviously. You really can feel her sorrow... honestly. It's all in the way she's thrown herself down... and not after standing for a while - I would say almost as if she ran to the tomb, just because I feel that's the only way her gown would lay like that It's in the way she has her head against the stone with her eyes closed, her arm lying listlessly upon the stair. And it's definitely in the tilted camera angle...
Ps. that dress is amazing. Wow... all handmade. it's beautiful and a really special thing to wear on such a memerable day

Love it!!!
OMG, you got 101 fav on that piece?
How many did you sell?
Gosh, you are so popular dear!
You should charge poeple to talk to you, lol...
Nah, just being stupid here, he he he....
So, this is what i use to like the most with your work, but it's changing.
Don't get me wrong, not that I don't like it anymore, I adore you B+W work.
but you have improved in teh colour category in a way that is outstanding.
Anyway, once again, wonderful haevy contrast, not too many details lost (he he he), and the path to a story.
the path being the dress of course, adn i mean, how many story that dress can tell?
An infinity is the proper abnswer.
Sadness or hapiness, resting to all the sense of the word, and of course more.
however, the real path I was talking about, again, was the curves.
Did you noticed that, more than ever, everythign is lines and curves on that piecve.
This is something you do a lot.
I don't know if youa re aware of it, but it is truly wonderful, I mean, i travel from top to bottom, I become a mind/car, and I drive along your pieces.
I love it!
Love road trips, he he he...
Personally, I find that piece a happy one.
I have my reasons.
And, she stands on top of everything.
Makes me think of you.
Love
Serge

blood would make it oh so "been done" to me plus its not about death in reality - its about emotional death.
thanks for the comment.

Wow, you used that really clever technique with the dress to draw people into the picture, it's like that famous painting I saw in Melbourne the other day with the dress. Very nice, wonderful technique

That is an awesome dress for starters. I love how you did this. The fact that it's in black and white makes the emotion of it be portrayed even more. Very nice work.

How tragic can an image be?
Everything about it is perfect! The angle , the contrast, the way her dress is spread...
The stairs look like they are made of silver...and all the surrounding..but something very bad happened and suddenly it looks so dirty...Like she thought something heavenly was going to happen, but she was wrong..
I see the theatrical representation of a drama .. of a love story that ended with a tragic way..
How much I love when art makes me me feel like that...makes my mind bring images together and make stories...
Thank you for that , Mary! This is definatelly one of your best wroks!

this is spectauclar, I've had a piece like this in my head for so long, but doubt it could look this good. The contrast in the foto is incredible right down to the different sand in the granite. great job!

Forgive the short comment, I'm at school/college and this keyboard not only sucks royally, but it'll disconnect me at any moment and FOR ONCE I'D LIKE TO GO FOR DINNER so blah. @o@!
It just.. It's so beautiful. All ridges and stiffness and pink tinted glass, and silver and platinum and glitter. The direction which you shot this, made it such a better picture as a whole, seeing more the flailing wedding gown than the actual sorrow and person. It gives it an almost ethereal feeling. n n And now I must go and eat!

I commented on this yesterday, but I don't know where it went. Ah well. What I said was that I loved the contrast of the texture of the stone against the smoothness of the gown. It's like the purity of youth meets the gritty reality of the world.
