beautiful… and sad at the same time,,,, excellent work, lots of emotion,, well done

Beautiful work This is lovely.

Thank you StacyLee & Midzing. I was actually suprised she agreed! It’s still very fresh and the emotions are very raw but I’m so glad she did agree, it was quite therapeutic.

Gorgeous!! A unique angle on a subject expertly handled. I love the finish on this, it suits the atmosphere wonderfully. I look forward to seeing the rest of the series.

Thank you Robin & Jon. I’ll upload the next image once this one has sunk in a bit!

Basia you are getting more and more impressive( you started out impressive though). Love the texture on this piece,it almost has a feeling of a painting… great tones.. I like the darker color. Really a well done piece.

Lovely treatment. It really conveys the emotion in the shot, the loneliness, the hoplesness and the emptyness.

Beautiful work here. The treatment is wonderful, gives it that emotional feel. Excellent work

Wow, Basia, without even having your explanation, it’s easy to see and feel the pain of your broken bride. You have captured the mood very, very well and look forward to more in this series! =)

Basia, What a wonderful image to convey this concept !!! The pose, lighting, and texture are all brilliant and express the feelings felt in such a sad, grieving time as this. I applaud both, you and your friend for being bold enough to tackle this and portray it so beautifully !! Well Done !!!!

Outstanding work, Basia! And yes, your friend should be commended
for putting the dress back on. I actually remarried my X…ugh. Now,
am divorcing him. (again) Your texture work is superb. Emotions well
caught..and displayed!

Truly a beautiful picture. The artwork is captivating. I reminds me of when I was a kid one of our neighbours hand painting b& w photos.

Such stunning work

Thank you Birgitta, Graham & Sruhs for all your wonderful comments :o)

I love all three images in this series, beautiful!

Thanks Sparklehen.

Lovely work!

Thank you Bluerabbit.

Amazing and very thought provoking. Very creative from the artistic point too. Your friend is brave for getting back into her gown; but, also the stronger for it. I wish your friend the very best. You have a fantastic piece of work here.

Stunning on every level! A beautiful work of art! Well done!

Thank you so much Florapro and David :o)

Thank you so much Jerry

beautiful work … the texture is great

Thank you Karenanderson.

This is lovely Basia. Obviously a lot of thought has gone into the planning of this image. This, and the masterly processing have elevated it to lofty heights!

Thank you so much Heather!!!

Terrific work!

Wonderful work!

Thank you Susan & Jonicool

The concept and shot is very emotive – but I also love the layer and blending work you have done. Great stuff.

Thank you Rosalie.

love the processing here! beautiful sensual work!

Your words are sad, but unfortunately they are very true, is this perhaps because people rush into marriage without too much thought to the meaning of the word commitment? By the way excellent composition with this portrait.

Thanks for your comments Studiofascino & Peter. This was definitely not a rushed decision but unfortunately still happened :o(

Lovely image and a wonderful inspiring gallery.

A sad story about your friend but it makes the photo even more touching and more realistic.

Thank you Ross & PhotoAmbiance!

lovely and romantic

as emotional, form a beautiful one

Thank you t1nyskert & fuxart!

Radiates class, truly insirational work.

Thanks Nick

Love the textures and the dramatic image.

youve captured it perfectly in my opinion

just love the hint of sadness that you have created…really sums up the title

wonderful image

How beautifully expressive. Very sad and lovely.

Wonderfully created!

very nice

Outstanding work!

Beautiful, so sad to think of this yet it is true for so many.

Beautiful work This is lovely.

what an intense, emotive artwork, brimming with sadness. Love how you’ve conveyed this – really stunning :)

you are sooo talent. every time i stop by looking at your portfolio i am always in amazed.

Fantastic concept and execution!

Wonderful image – excellent effect

I love this. As someone going through a divorce right now, it speaks to me.

this is wonderful. Sad. but wonderful. I love the texture on it!

i admire you for taking such a painful subject for so many people and opening it up to be looked at and handled so softy and sensitively :) separation from the things we have known and loved (and even hated, at times) is hard, no matter how ‘ready’ we think we are. This image has a lot of sadness -which is the reality of separation … thank u for capturing it so beautifully.

STUNNING:)

A very emotive image…. excellent capture… wonderful lighting and treatment.

Congratulations on the “Home Page” billing for this very emotive image, Basia !!!

Beautiful creation, gorgeous scene

Very cool image – congrats on the homepage, too!

Good work with a cause. Yes, it invokes emotional response from a viewer. We have lowest divorce rates here and our family system and ties are on high priority in all walks of life in India. Marriage is giving ALL the time. Thanks to you and your friend. I admire both of you for making this effort successful.

So beautiful but so sad. A lovely image deserving of the homepage.

Gorgeous !!!

such a sweet sadness to this image. love the concept behind this, cant wait for the rest!
great work

desperation, longing , insecurity … but hope and beauty

Love everything about it! Hairstyles

Wonderfully creative, Basia.

So lovely! It fits perfectly in the First Things Group!

Congratulations! On making the Top Ten in a First Things Group challenge.

Beautiful….and what a concept. So sad….Wonderful work.
