Maggie Bernet
brilliant image, very very sad eyes, begging for freedom and rescue, there are no words needed, we all know her story just by contact, this is an amazing picture, her eyes are unforgettable and I see her say, I want to just simply walk away…...
stunning image, master piece…. I wish this image would have the impact it deserves, it sure left a mark in my soul, the more I look at her, the more she is telling me, help me, help us…
