Description What if things had been different
What if we'd kept it light
What if I could hold you
I wish you'd never lied

That song is AMAZING.

This picture is not about my romantic relationship, but more about the relationship I have with some of my friends. Seems like everything's breaking apart..

I really need critique on my portraits. Please help me

first, let me respond to your question/comments. i'm sorry that your relationship is like that with some of your friends. i know how you feel, and i know that no one should have to feel that way.

a shorter critique, because i have to study for a bunch of exams:
the image of someone clutching their head is a very good representation of the question 'what if?'. therefore, i also like the title. i also like the slight shadow; i think it sort of reflects what you were saying about friends: they might be right next to you, but they're not interacting, talking with you. the upside-down picture... it's obvious that is has been rotated, of course, because the necklace (dog tags? i can't see) and septum ring are not upside down. i think that if the picture had actually been taken upside down, it would have been a better show of the topsy-turvyness of the friend-relationship thing. i also like how the picture is faded... they seem to be fading out of your life, doesn't it? and we can't see the face... that's also an interesting feature. overall, a very nice picture. i think i'd give it a 4.5 out of 5.

I guess that's just life. times change and so do people - even though I'd rather not have a change.

you're probably right about how the picture is taken..but I guess it would have been too difficult to take it upside down.

once again, thank you so much for your long comment

well, if things didn't change, it wouldn't be life.

yeah, if you have a sofa or, even better, an ottoman, you can lie on it and tip your head back and that's a pretty easy upside-down photo. it's quite fun as well.

no problem. love the photos and hope to see more.
