Beautiful image, obivously full of meaning. It certinaly is emotive.... and amazing!

This reminds me faintly of Michelangelos painting of Adam when he meets god, mostly of the moments before there was light the time of darkness and pain or maybe even a companion peice where eve ( his heart still resting embeded in him) is touched by the ambiance of divinity even though she has yet to be born.

I know this is diffrent than what you intended and I see what you where saying in the work but this image struck me and I had to share it with you.

Hopefully light will replace your darkness and you will be born into the gentle warmth you deserve.

Thank you very much!

Your welcome!

Be not afraid of sharing your own views, especially on my work! I am always interested in seeing the various ways people interpret what I do, I actually find it a compliment. So thank you very much, not just for sharing how this image makes you feel but also for the really warm thought you left. I am appreciative...

Thanks for the favourite too!

Well I knew it had personal meaning for you but I liked the image it gave me as well even more so that writing photography is so rich with perspective it can mean a thousands of things to each of us, it just struck me.

Of course I wish you the best I know you have been in a dark pace but you can and will recover one day at a time and of course its good for the soul of an artist since looking into the darkness is part of creating new life.

I find it funny how a simple photograph can arouse so many emotions which one is aware of, how it can perfectly portray one's feelings. Sometimes you do grand things without even realizing so. And they say 'best results' come when you least expect them to. Here, 'best' to me consists of precision, closeness to my own sentiments.

"Looking into the darkness is part of creating new life." I like that. And I hope you're right, I hope this image does represent the beginning, though not much changed for me to believe that yet. I think that what must be happening at the moment is just me trying to express my crave for 'freedom' in an artistic way. And this capture gives me a sense of 'liberation' each time I look at it, even though the title might suggests the opposite (and yet everything).

Change is not something that can be judged at the time, or at least rarely seen at the time, thinking back in my life the times when life turned for the better or sadly for the worse are not marked by fireworks or choir of angels singing but rather incremental steps that only time and reflection can bring into proper persective

I feel the most important part of positive change is the will to see it done and the understanding of ones own inner worth, I can't help you with the will I can only encourage you and help you to see your own worth.

And I do find that most comforting. Thank you kindly...

Pull me from this darkness that surrounds me...
Pull me from this state of invisibility I feel...
Pull me from this place where no one sees who I am...

Just a few words that came to mind...

In my case, my artistic creations shows my soul... shows who I am... The creative process is my light...

As usual your work is stunning dear Elena!
