Realisation (It's over)...

My question is.. How do you feel and react when you know that your marriage is over? I personally can’t imagine the feeling but I have seen my best friend and model go through it first hand and it’s a total feeling of loss, hopelessness and sadness. My apologies for being melancholy but this is the unfortunate reality for many couples. Again, thank you to my beautiful model and friend…...

    A good question Basia – unimaginable to me too – feel i met my soulmate and couldn’t imagine if he stopped loving me – like ripping the heart out i suppose – as for the image – you have done it beautiful – i love the treatment – so creative and your colours are outstanding – i hope your friend is ok and gets through this terrible time.

    This is a beautiful image, the colours, composition and mood evoked are superb and the texture and treatment add to the impact. Its quite a classic piece as well, it reminds me of a very old painting. I’m so sorry for your friend, I’m sure everything is worse at Christmas too : ( a sad subject beautifully handled.

    So many people are misguided when it comes to affairs of the heart. They get in a hurry to live the dream and it isn’t until it is too late that they realize there is a difference between true love and the lust that so many people mistake for love. As painful as it may be at the time, is not better to be left at the alter than after however many years of marriage; especially after children are born?

    An emotional image that you can’t help but feel like rushing in to console the woman.

    I know how she feels, theres no vision for the future, but in due time and with healing and friends, the future lights go on, and you move on. My first marriage was 5 years, i was yound, and very hurt by the divorce, i also had 2 children. My second marriage is now and is on its 25th year. I had 5 children altogether, now 8 grandchildren with one on the way :)

    Once again, Basia, you’ve excelled yourself with this image !!!! It oozes with emotions of grief, tragedy and worthlessness. And to happen to one so young. A very powerful image with strong sentiment. The setting, processing, posing and preparation, all add up to a real winner !!!!
