Description
Despite the beauty in realizing her humanity and mortality, she couldn't help feeling washed up, dried up, and defeated. Perhaps there is just a little more strength left in her reserves to begin again just ONE more time.Model (the fabulous and GORGEOUS): [link] (deathrockstock)
Ocean: (Something old from WAY back.)
Dirt: (let me see)

Thanks! I did not really plan this one out. It just sort of 'told' me what to do. (The model was the original inspiration, she makes me want to go on a serious diet.

Then you had really good instructions
(being inspired to improve your life is such an honor for the photographer and the model )

very strange, i like that. great divided sky. i have to disagree with DinoCruton-Stock, though... i think the fish are cute, and may even add a bit of balance to the composition, but they seem wrong for this particular piece. of course that's just my opinion, but other than that i think it's fantastic.

That's an interesting critique. What do you perceive from it that makes the fish seem out of place? (seriously I'm interested in knowing)

ok, brutally honest? they have a more cartoonish, disney feel than the rest of the picture. they don't look like they're underwater but pasted over it. and they're just too damned happy!

I cut out a layer for the water to be over them and they STILL don't look like they are? Bummer. I'll have to fix that. And then I'll paint them a sad color! With tears if that helps. LOL! Thanks for your input! I love that!
