I like it! It is as if she has steeled herself against the world, turned herself to stone to stop being hurt by scattered songs and shattered dreams. Then again, it could be she has just given up...
I like this - it works. It's a startling take on the picture which at first glance I read as happiness, then I saw the singing, and now, as I write this, I see fear.
It's no mean feat to get me think about a picture, rather than just to take it at face value.
I love what you wrote. This particular image has really brought out some wonderful words from everyone.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely; you have captured the image of the bust beautifully.
