Envy by fiveplustwo

Envy

I don't envy the young, I spent too much time to grow my white hair to renounce to it;
I don't envy the rich, I would find a way to spend all my money all the same;
I don't envy the smarter, I'm not smart enough to get the difference...
But talent... Oh how I do envy true talent when I recognize it!

@domenicododaro for the theme "envy"
With humble apologies for the delay
I'm right there with ya, Domenico! Excellent portrayal!

At first glance I thought you might be envying the muscular frame, but that "didn't seem like you"... When I realized what all the books were, I joined you in that feeling... I would add that I'm impressed with those who've been given a gift and make the time to hone their skills! (AND...talent is a perception, depending upon who's making the assessment!)

@Weezilou thank you Louise! I think there’s almost nothing that cannot be done without hard work and concentration... talent is a shortcut that I envy having nothing but to work hard and concentrate...
@mikegifford haha. Thank you, Mike!

@domenicododaro wonderful interpretation, I love the words that come with it as well! And it's a natural feeling, however your composition and lighting prove you have nothing to envy :)
