Description I love you,I reach out for you and for your smile,but I'm more then ready to let you go,since our happiness is nothing more but a lie...
And I hate lies,and I hate the constant potential of breaking up...
I was neglecting that fact,but it's all clear to me now...
Despite the hell I'm fighting with now,despite the fact that I love you more than anything else,I just have to cut the connection between you and my heart...
Go,my angel,fly away...
It's better this way,you and I both know it...
As I made this picture as a remembrance,everything is finished...
I'm sorry that I cannot lie to you and say: "I wish you a happy life with someone else" ,but it's better to remain silent than to say a lie...
And believe me,you don't need those words from me...
Clean all the memories from your very heart like the dust,and just be yourself,stop pretending to be something you're not,for you are different,I can't recognize you anymore...

Now,who knows,perhaps we'll meet someday again,but you'll meet nothing but a stranger with cold gaze...even though that stranger will still be loving you and value you more than his very life...the stranger who will have you engraved deep in his heart...
I'll just remain here with my affliction,which is the only thing I'll have...
Now,my love,close your eyes and let me kiss you one more time while the cape of oblivion falls over our souls...

Ohh that's a lovely picture! How did you make my gate stock look so "digital"? More like a digital drawing than a photo I mean.

First of all,I thank you for the kind words,and for the fave as well ^_^

Second,regarding the answer to the gate:
First,I have cut out the gate from your stock
Second,I have brushed over it freely with Soft Round AirBrushes
Third,I have duplicated it and Motion Blur-ed it
Fourth,duplicated the blured image and set it on soft light
Fifth,emerged all the layers together
Sixth,played with different settings in curves and warming photo filter until I was satisfied with the color I needed
Seventh,duplicated and put it through filter>artistic>plastic warp,put on soft light OR overlay,can't exactly remember
Eight,merged the layers
Ninth,put it through Topaz Plugin: Filter>Topaz Labs>Topaz DeNoise 4,played in settings on RAW,Strong until I was satisfied
Tenth,put it throught Topaz Simplify 3,played with settings on Image Crisp Edge
Eleventh,put it through Topaz Detail 2 and played with setting on Creative Detail Accent

After that,I went through the same plugin and played with Bold Detail option...
Next thing was - duplicating,blurring,changing layer to soft light and merging them...

That was the hard way,since I was experimenting...

But you can get similar outcome with Topaz Clean plugin,but I prefer the hard way...you get more interesting result,and you get to appreciate the image more because of the pain you went through experimenting ^_^

The base idea tho,was to make it look more than just simple photo manipulation...
