Description It’s the sense of RAW emotion portrayed in the eyes. The eyes that eat at your soul. That beg your attention…eyes that long for freedom. Freedom of the mind, freedom of the body, freedom of expression, freedom from poverty and freedom of the soul.

So many emotions in those eyes... Just... Wow.
A great title choice. This is indeed... about as RAW as it gets.

I love the emotion in this shot, i love the shadows, I love the contrast...I love so much about this shot. Most of all the "RAW" emotion that is portrayed just through the subjects eyes, the RAW simplicity of it all. Great job!

this is so gripping
the eyes ensnare you and its just as painful to look as it is painful to look away.
and the title is sufficient Raw as in natural and unprocessed emotion and depth

A wonderful piece.

I did manage to read the journal before I got this message
thanx for the feature sir... @ your reaction to "sir"
the deviation by Niva has however been removed following some advice.

I know

I had the same problem.

That would be wonderful...
I already showed it to my fiance and told him how it made me feel when I was looking into the eyes.
If you ever consider it as a print, please let me know. He knows he is to get me it as soon as its available.
