'I won't let you close enough to hurt me'

Not feeling entirely okay with this picture, can't say I have the highest self esteem ever, especially regarding body image but mmm there we go.

I've had that song going round my head all day. Today was okay.. Spread some CVs around Wetherby but I can't say I'm very hopeful.

Just Mum and me in tonight. We were going to watch Banksy's 'exit through the gift shop' but after about 10 minutes we changed channel because it was weird :p

Beautiful shot

Lovely. So atmospheric. You seem like such a fragile person sometimes, but I reckon you're also very strong. You just need to experience a paradigm shift in the way you view yourself.

[Amy Spada]

Very moody...

This is a beautiful shot, Naomi. I especially love the colours!

[CHARLES MALLIA]

great photo always think positive.

[Diana Moss]

I like the way that you have cropped this shot , leaving the rest to the imagination

[Clarissa]

This is so lovely Naomi! Great colouring :)

First off, I like the pic. Body image? From what I see there is no need to have a self esteem problem. The song? I have no idea what song it is. I guess it is a more recent song or perhaps a country song, because the lyrics mean nothing to me. And finally, "spread some CVs around"? What does that mean? Obviously being from the UK you will have some idioms and meanings that are foreign to us on this side of the Atlantic and that is probably the problem.

I think we all have self esteem issues with bodies. I know that I do! I really understand these words about getting too close and being afraid...
Your picture just fits your words perfectly.

Nice shot, I like the crop.
I thought you had a job in a bakery?

[Lauren]

i really like this- it somehow has an autumn feel to it for me. as for the body image/self esteem... i think most people do but for me personally i think it gets better as we get a bit older, at least that's how it has been for me.

[Lauren]

and would like to say after reading your tags, I hope you are okay. and although I don't know you, from your pictures and captions you seem like an intelligent and beautiful girl, just try and remember that for yourself :)

[Della]

I think this is a beautiful shot :)

[Paula Cook-Farkas]

I always wish the best for you, and hope that you will one day see what the rest of us see.

[Harry J Benson]

interesting composition, you are very creative person

[alia_801]

Nice composition with the flowers, and lovely sense of mystery from your pose.

[Danielle Greenwood]

Lovely pic, love the soft tones and flowers. Don't judge yourself so harshly, life is too short! ;-)

[cglist]

I think it's a beautiful shot!

[Beverly Moolman]

Beautiful shot!!!

[Mary]

You are gorgeous, Naomi! One of the most creative 365'ers for sure! This shot is lovely. Hopefully some day soon, you will finally see the real you, when you look in the mirror, and realize that there is no need for all of the body-insecurities. ((hugs))

[Brandie]

Love the composition and processing on this. =) And I agree with Danielle, don't be so harsh on yourself. You have a talent for photography and seeing the beauty in the world. =)

[Elise DeCola]

I love this! The composition is wonderful!! And you have some gorgeous legs! :)

[FaerieMoon]

I'm not sure anybody has a good body image, really. So I guess you can join the world-wide club on that one, lol. I think this turned out perfect, and you look wonderful (what you I can see!)

[Laurie Higgins]

The way you framed this is simply perfect for the way you feel. I love the light on that little flower by your hand...
