Description Cooking up my own fake blood and breaking glass was the real fun here. I'm pleased with the result. There is some small Photoshop going on (desaturation), but that isn't the point of the composition.

I found this image online and saw it belongs to you. I saw that you approved it for use and I have it on my blog. I did link it to this page.

Would it be alright if I used this image for the cover of my e-book. It matches of the content of the story so well. I would give you the credit and mention for the image of course.

Sorry I don't read this very often. If you still want to, do go ahead. Is your e-book publicly available?

Would it be alright to use your picture? I will o fcourse give you credit. I wanted to use it as a background for the writting shattere, I was searching for a picture that represented what I was trying to say, yours fit so well.
~Shattered~
I look in the mirror, how can I still be in one piece?
How can I look so calm, so normal on the outside?
When inside I am shattered.
Shards of my glass heart are scattered,
The violence of the emotions I feel blasting them to dust.
Tiny crystals imbedding into the vital organs,
I bleed, I hemorrhage, and I curl up dying inside.
Yet, I live. I breathe; I smile and show to the world a false face.
I find it incredible that they don’t see it in my eyes;
The ocean waits there, ready to break forth from inside of me.
I want to drown, yet I fight and swim against the tide.
I love you enough to want you to be happy,
I love you too much for it to be healthy for me.
I prayed so hard that you would be happy;
Now you are; it’s just not with my coming.
This jealousy an atom bomb inside of me,
Shattering the world I hoped to see.
~Juliana H./ref~

I like how you have the dots around the heart as gray; that way, you will focus more on the red and the broken heart.

This is a heck of a late response, but go ahead- I'd like a linkback if possible.

Haven't been active here for years, so I'm real surprised to see new comments!

I'm going to agree, the dots do take away from it a bit. Perhaps if they wer eblack or red, not so much, but grey is such an emotionless color, whereas the heart/blood/glass has so much feeling.

When the heart breaks, do we not try to keep it all inside?

Simply put, there is a visual disconnect because of the conflict between how the inside feels, and how the outside tries to hide it with a lack of emotion.

Don't we feel worse as a result?

(Just my interpretation, thanks for the feedback!)

I do think that our heart is made of glass, it breaks so easily...
Love the concept of this deviation! Made me think, that's too much!

in my eyes the grey dots destroy the feeling of this photo ... but anyway .. the idea is nice and makes me think about checking your gallery ...
