Besides being as wonderful shot, I love the processing and the framing with the shot bleeding into the frame.
Well done.

Ditto what Michael said! The "slough of despond" also comes to mind, Asiko, because a slough is a place of deep mud/mire and that's exactly what this looks like. Tar pits also come to mind!

Very evocative of despair and anguish!

nice representation! he really looks in anguish!

I totally loooove this. I'd also like to see it in a more contemporary setting and composition.

Like this one very much too ! Bravo !

your self portraits keep getting better, you seem to be able to capture an emotion. beautiful work Ade. mal

I like this a lot. It looks like it has been thrown away and left in the gutter - distressed comes to mind, both for the emotion and the state of the image. Very imaginative.

hmmmmm asiko is back

I really like this, but for me personally I think it would be equally powerful without the overlay texture.

like the darkness and murky feel a lot...good experimentation...

definitely works for me

very vety nicely done, ME LIKEY!!

love the borders!

I missed this...best shot for a while.

We're watching your back, you'll be fine. You have no idea how much you're covered in prayer.
