What a strong image! I agree that the placement of the subject off to the side adds to the power of the photo.

Cornered…. reflexive… tired..
sometimes we feel like this…
but just for two seconds..
Love for oneself… respect.. should stand up and cry for our hearts…
Rosa (i love it… I saw the pic and thought about it.. without knowing the author…you have talent and intention..)

Sad, lonesome sitting here by herself, next to her an empty space, viewer has to fill what’s missing in this space. I like it I feel is your best shot.
