Sorry for the form letter, and lack of a decent comment (now or when I faved it), but I wanted to ensure that you knew I had at one point in time (not recently) chosen your work (here) as a "Thumb" and/or "Written Word of the Moment".
This collection has led to me making a specific journal entry {other than my front page}, "PREVIOUS SPOTLIGHT/THUMBS OF THE MOEMENT " to spotlight all those who I have attempted to give some sort of well deserved (if tiny) credit...
sorry it is the best I can do and you deserve more...

Gorgeous! i really love this
your gallery is so cool
this pic reminds of the lyrics to this song
"like a rose, trampled on the ground, you took the fall and you thought of me, above all"
nice work

Hmm, reading the previous comments leaves me scratching my head! What I got out of this had nothing to do with love being crushed but more about all of the little things in life that we "overlook", as the subject would imply, and destroy in the process! The fragility of a dying rose really emphasizes the fact that if we continue to overlook the little things, we will simply be left with crushed remains of what was once beautiful!

I could be way off base here! It wouldn't be the first time!

Overall, an very nice capture! Great work!

" But when the melancholy fit shall fall
Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud,
That fosters the droop-headed flowers all,
And hides the green hill in an April shroud;
Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose,
Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave,
Or on the wealth of globรจd peonies;
Or if thy mistress some rich anger shows,
Emprison her soft hand, and let her rave,
And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes. "
- John Keats Ode on Melancholy

Wow. Very powerful stuff. Immediately made me think of Ode on Melancholy by John Keats.

The lighting in this one is great. The relatively invisible shadow is a great touch. Sexy boots

hmm, I don't know if I get it. I think it's beyond me.
But, yes, cool footwear, it makes me think of my fear of public bathrooms and walking out with toilet paper stuck to the bottom of your shoes... terrifying!

I guess this could mean that something lovely was right there, but you stepped on it and didn't see the beauty of it, is that it?

padilha [2003-10-08 21:27:55 +0000 UTC]

very strong statement, i like the fact that you can't see the surface the flower is being pressed against. Would it be visible and the boot have less protagonism...
Excellent job!

whoa.
not very hard to read between THOSE lines!
b-b-b-b-brrrrr!!!
and it's not just the 'action' itself,...you couldn't
have picked better 'props' to do it.
i mean,...not only is it a rose,...a symbol of love,...
but, it's a dying or dead one,...further emphasizing
the point being made.
or maybe the 'subject' is just finally coming
to grips with something that for so long they tried to
ignor, but finally couldn't.
man. this is sorta deep.
and i love the choice of shoe. a black leather boot.
with a kickaZZ heal no less! mmmmmmmm,...gotta
love that for weapon of choice!!!
excellant work partner!
nothing but!

"These boots were made for walking." Wonderful personalization/humanization of a flower....it's a well executed, simple and poignant metaphor. Thanks for sharing.

cool shot. I love the concept.... Great idea. Great use of black and white and a bit of color. It really gives the focus on the flower I think. I love it.

experimenting.. so interesting
ive not seen these negative ends of your experiments before
negative in energy, not in the piece's quality.. the quality is just sweet
but the message in it, seems or feels negative..
getting out bad emotions?
finding new ones?
i'm so confused
maybe that's the point of this!
to confuse me!
jk
hehe
as always, another splendid piece

perfect technique, is if i've ever seen anything less.

Great message, I assume it's about love being told to 'get stuffed!' ha ha

Lovely work nighty
