Description
Did you ever feel like you were totally alone in the world? Totally and completely without purpose or meaning? Unable to see the light? I have....this pic was inspired by that lost-in-the-in-universe-completely-by-myself feeling.Large black space and and slight grain intentional.

I never noticed this.
I think we have all either been there or will be there at one point or another. I think it gives us the baseline perspective needed to have compassion and appreciation.

After looking through your gallery i have desided this one is my fav. I would only like to say that while your photography is beautiful, the words you use are the true beauty. 
Great job and I look forward to seeing what you do with the future.

I know the feeling, but that wasn't my first thought. I immediately wanted to hug you... maybe to give some kindness, which you were missing.
Great pic, with emotions, thoughts and body... in many ways.

I do indeed know this feeling... all too well in fact. I just happened to post a poem about it in my gallery this morning about that very thing.

After glancing through the other comments, I'm afraid I've nothing fresh to say as it's all been covered...so I'll stick with "very pretty" and "Nice!"

That eye....oh it kills me. I love the tone of her skin, very good lighting. I see something comming up behide her, but thats just from looking at the picture too hard I think. Her feet scrunched up gives her the perfect amount of fright.

You were right, Alix . This is the better shot, the other is so obviously a poor rip.
Kudos to you *lorrainemd for this.

im coming in from the photo by and i have to say this photo is beautiful just the same... but there are differences. her's seems to me that the model is trying to fade into her surroundings where as your model seems like she is being absorbed or sucked into a void. like the world is trying to overtake her and she's frightened. the lighting in hers is soft and this one is dramatic and pops out at you. ive seen this pose dont quite frequently and though i'm only just beginning in photography i'd say that they both have artistic value in their own rights. i would definately not think that one is better than the other. beautiful work !

I think it is a combination of many aspects of this shot that make me feel almost thoughtful and nostalgic as I look at this photo; perhaps the warm tones warm up the feeling of loneliness meant to be expressed- or the touch of polish on pretty feet- the model seems more pert and impish to me as a viewer- hiding her face because she wants to, not because she feels drawn to, pointed feet first, because she is essentially in control of her self-being. How ever I see it, I love it- and its getting a fav from me. Well done Lorraine!!

yes..
i know this feeling,
but is better to feel something
that nothing.
the pain,
the sweet pain.

I don't have a foot fetish, but cute toes really strike a cord with me. Makes me miss my girlfriend (who has been in Africa for 4 months).
This is great.

Congrats on the front page, I scrolled for 45 minutes to get down here
I like the idea of being alone as a theme. This shot somehow gave me an impression of falling back into a void rather than being there already, just a trick of the perspective I know. Lovely, well done.

So simple yet so full of meaning. Great work! I can relate to it too. great work!

the hair over the face is a nice touch, and im lovin that its feet first...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
cool pic and pose.. seen it a million times but the way the feet stick out into the foreground makes it slightly different and interesting. and the slight grain and tone is great too.
however, i get the feeling that the pose is more playful than it is lonely. and the fact that the female is right in the centre of the shot looks a bit odd.. there's black all around her and nothing that "grounds" her to anything.. so she looks like she's floating about in a black abyss (maybe that was your intention). perhaps also having more black negative space in the picture in comparison to the figure would better convey the lost and lonely feel.. but nevertheless.. i like this shot.. its kind of different and.. nice

Wow this is so incredible!!! I love how you can jsut see her eye through her hair, making her look as tho she's hiding from the world, yet can't take her eye of it... Great angle and perspective... this is so wonderfully shot, on all levels. The tone is great too!!

I like this very much, as I do most of your work. Having no idea how to link, this reminds me of Neeta's Fragile ([link] ). Very impressive.

very nice, was this a photoshopped digital shot, a color print, or a photoshopped b&w print? if it was a print, you are amazing... the barely visible eye and the odd foreshortening are what make this pic. very nice indeed.

Beautiful Ya get better and better. I know EXACTLY how you're feelin now too, you're not alone.

I think the "loneliness" would have been emphasized by taking the shot from further away. It is still a very beautiful photo though.

OH YEAH...I've felt like that. Lots of times...
wonderful photo!

The contrast is fabulous.... the pose so striking... again you amaze me.

nice capture, but the feet looks quite massive
i like the idea... reminds me of this saying I got about my birth-date... "seeing in the darkness is not done with one's eyes"
I think and even larger black space would further enhance that feeling of being alone and lost, but this one does fine too
