It's Just The Rain

Charlie Chaplin: "I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying."

Video contains rain, blood and death and the closing scene from the PSP game Crisis Core: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pteSoHAIJ5Y

I completed this game in August last year after spending over 100 hours on it. Finished all 300 missions, beat the final boss Minerva, collected every collectible. But, the ending still makes me cry, whenever I watch it. I miss Zack.

The focus is so beautiful on this portrait

So beautiful. (Video games have been something enjoyed around our house for years!!! One of my boys works in the industry ; )
July 10th, 2012  
Very emotive image.
July 10th, 2012  
great focus and composition Livia! you are sooooo good!
July 10th, 2012  
Wonderful shot
July 10th, 2012  
You really are sooooo good. And I think you have the best written profile description that I have seen on 365. :)
July 10th, 2012  
Fabulous shot Livia, lovely lighting
July 10th, 2012  
:( I'm sad for your doll. But a great picture.
July 10th, 2012  
Very emotive photo! I like what you have done. Lovely.
July 10th, 2012  
great shot!
July 10th, 2012  
A nice portrait shot of your doll. let the rain wash away the tears.
July 10th, 2012  
This is a very powerful photo. Well done!
July 10th, 2012  
nice! intense!
July 10th, 2012  
I prefer : `Singing in the rain` (Gene Kelly ) Or: `Always look at the bright side of live `( Eric Idle- Monty Python ) Life is to short to be not optimistic
Sorry , I don`t know anything about games I don`t play them. love the dolls expression, it`s so sad it`s nearly real you want to comfort her. .
July 10th, 2012  
Wow. A bit dark ... it evokes such a human feel. VERY nicely done!
July 10th, 2012  
creepy
July 10th, 2012  
Stunning photo, so sad; is this Wish?
July 10th, 2012  
Wow ... you've stepped to a new level with this one, Livia! This is so dramatic and so compelling. There's "life" in this one. Amazing. P.S. I like to cry in the rain. I use the same "excuse!" It's the rain. :)
July 10th, 2012  
So very well done, Livia. Interesting but Neil Sedaka prefers laughter in the rain. Guess both would work ;-)
July 10th, 2012  
WOW full of emotion
July 10th, 2012  
I'd fogotten that quote. This is quite a fitting photo for it!
July 10th, 2012  
Powerful!!
July 10th, 2012  
There's a song by Everly Brothers - "Crying in the rain" that fits the quote. Cool shot, Livia!! Love how you can clearly see the tears :)

eva
Fab details.

July 11th, 2012  
Fabulous ... So intriguing.
July 11th, 2012  
Wonderful focus.
July 11th, 2012  
Oh this is awesome!! Love your focus so much. Kinda creepy and cool at the same time :)
July 11th, 2012  
Beautiful focus and composition Livia :D
July 11th, 2012  
Powerful image! I used to play those first person role play video games like Myst, The Neverhood, Shivers, Amerzone, Syberia, Grim Fandango, 7th Guest, etc..where you creep around some new world or in a haunted mansion, solving puzzles and having things scare you. I loved those, but they don't make them anymore. Just those "find the item" games...don't like those. I see I can buy and download some of those old games (they don't make them for our new operating systems) online that will supposedly play on today's computers. I may try it. But my son gave me Portal to play....so may start with it.
July 11th, 2012  
Great image and the quote is so fitting.
July 11th, 2012  
@myautofocuslife O no , I just force myself. Nobody cares if you are or not so you better can be. It sure feels better
July 11th, 2012  
Love the focus on this
July 11th, 2012  
Cool shot. Does a plasticine figure cry silicone tears?
July 11th, 2012  
Great lighting! And it is very emotive.
July 11th, 2012  
Lovely shot, Livia! I love your dolls! Wonderful work! Congrats with the game! I never have time for that sort of thing.
July 11th, 2012  
Brilliantly done Livia
July 11th, 2012  
Wow! Very intense doll portrait. Love it; great comp and low key. Fav.
July 12th, 2012  
Great work - sadness captured
July 12th, 2012  
A great, big, wet and quiet "THANK YOU!" to everyone for visiting!

Some days, it just feels like a little sadness and reflection are in order. Dolls are spooky to some and beautiful to others. To me, they are also full of life. Just not in a loud, animated or needy way.

Again, thank you so much. I am grateful.
July 12th, 2012  
Wonderful - great light, composition and focus. It is an interesting visual conflict - it is a doll and at the same time someone with personality feeling sad.
July 12th, 2012  
Mel

July 12th, 2012  
Stunning shot. Perfection with your focus
July 12th, 2012

July 12th, 2012  
Wonderful crop and shot!
July 12th, 2012  
Great DOF... This doll is so photogenic and you know how to photograph it so well!
July 12th, 2012  
wow! awesome focus! fav!
July 13th, 2012  
Beautiful and wonderful Chaplin quote. Love your profile pic too!
July 13th, 2012  
All of it is totally beyond me but this looks great. He is Zack?
July 13th, 2012  
@tooki Nope. He is KC. Zack is in the video. 8)
July 13th, 2012  
Feeling the sadness - well captured!
July 14th, 2012  
Oh. sad.
Cool capture.
July 14th, 2012  
I love this doll! IT is on the top of my list for my birthday! Thanks for introducing me to them. Please don't make her cry it feels too real:))))
July 16th, 2012  
sinister, dramatic, very cool!
July 18th, 2012  
I really like your doll shots. So many emotions.
July 20th, 2012  
Awesome capture. Love the expression and lighting. Creates the mood perfectly. Congrats on the game too. Been trying to complete every Legend Of Zelda game created with my 7 year old. We're almost done. Have about 4 more to go I think.
