This is marvellous - it has so much emotion - I think it could be used as a poster to relate to many different states of mind eg depression. :)

@robz Actually Rob, I thought of you when I found the Soft Intensifier selection on my camera - you inspired me to investigate the contents of my camera after your recent post! Glad you liked it:)

[Rob Z]

@fbailey Lol FB - isn't this a great site - I love how much we can pick up from each other. I also love this selection from your camera - such an interesting finish. I had to laugh when you said you didn't read your manual either - wouldn't it be boring if we had just read the thing and methodically worked through every single item - no more fun surprises!! :)

[FBailey]

@robz Firstly the print is too small, secondly there's too much of it, and lastly I have the attention span of a goldfish! Because I've bumbled about and basically taught myself, I've only recently discovered the shutter speed is the dial on the left ... what a dummie:(

[Pyrrhula]

Beautiful in all it`s sadness. Fav.

[Steve and Pam Winfield]
