This is a very good concept. Well composed, I like both text and picture. Great expression! But I had difficulties reading the text, it's quite blurry!

Well Done: The model's face is a clear indicator of the mood of the piece, surprisingly something that often is misrepresented, the model's emotions clouding rather than enhancing the emotion set forth by the text on a piece. This piece, however, is a good example of a coherent meshing of text and imagery. Another thing I enjoy about this piece is that while the text talks of a lack of mirrors to reflectthe sadness and pain evidenced in the piece, the series of borders around the model hint of a bezeled mirror, a delicious bit of irony. A small detail, the font is nevertheless a nice touch, not quite script but not quite sans serif. Overall the colors match well, the sepia tones on the model reflect into the text reflect into the frame and contrast nicely with the maroon fill.
Could Be Improved: While the model is in crisp focus, I don't see that reflected in the text, the script being a bit blurred. If this was a conscious decision on the aritist's part, I can see how it was intended, but my aesthetics ask for the text to be a little sharper.
Please Fix: As should be expected from finished pieces on DA, this deviation has no ugly blemishes or unsightly errors. A nicely manipulated piece.
Overview: Apart from my personal preference about the text, I greatly enjoyed discovering all the subtle items in this such as the mirror effect and the complementing hues. This excellent piece speaks of inner sadness and emotional and mental wounds that still gape unseen. Congratualtions on a fine piece!

I love the quote... is it one of your own, if not from where did you find it? Lovely picture of you as well.

Und wegen invisible Scars... Man kann sie (meistens) nicht mit den Augen sehen, aber feinfühlige Menschen könnens mit dem Herzen sehen...

Powerful image and words. Your self-portraits are uniquely expressive.
