Vacant

Lots of feelings in this piece, tells a story! I really like it, I have felt the exact same feelings lots in my life! The vacant look in the eyes!

Holidays are overwhelming, and always seem to drain me, I know of what you say.

Powerful image

I love that the photo allows each of us to interact with it in a different way, to project, as it were, our own feelings into her. Last week I might have come away having shared despair. But today, I see a woman who has just put a book down and taken a moment to reflect upon something she’d read, or a memory triggered. I think there is a sadness here, though its depth and contours will be determined by the viewer. For me, her sadness is closer to a sweet melancholy, or perhaps nostalgia. A contemplative, gentle sorrow, rather than a profound unhappiness, or even despair.

Wow, Susan, this one is very powerful. You really caught some emotions there. Great work!

A lot of emotion here, well done

Thought provoking….excellent work

Such emotion on her face in this one Susan… Well done

Such emotion captured. Sadness, worry and loss are what this says to me. She tried to read her book to get her mind off her concerns, but could not concentrate. Great Capture!
