as well Kat. Life is so hard sometimes. Being aware of it all is one of the curses of being human.

In terms of this image, first off i like it; it's strong for sure and I like the B/W.

I can see the emotion behind the paint. (I agree with MA - it looks like paint). That still works for me though. To improve the shot, I might have suggested a bit more expression/sadness from your face. I can feel the sadness from the words you've written, but I'm not seeing that same level of sadness from your face. If your face 'looked' sadder or more emotive the image would be considerably stronger imo. Trust me though, I know you 'are' very sad.

Hope that helps - and again I'm sorry for your loss and offer you my condolences.

Sincerely,

Marko
