I AM FREE

Words of the heart
too often go unspoken.....
Uncertainty remains amidst the silence
that raged behind these walls......

A moment of Truth
at the eye of the storm......
Shattered the Veil left standing between us,
I would not have known nor seen
till all that remained was dust.....

The picture is great! Good tonal range. I'd crop the bright sky part, or cheat with Ps and clone it in.

One of these days I'm going to have to read your poetry and comment on it. ;)

Agree with Matthew re the bright sky...it pulls your eye away...
Beautiful settings still with the water pattern soothes your troubles away.
Very nice sentiments Shanna.

Actually, I don't care for the new crop. I think the tree tops add to the scene and prefer to just add colour to the sky. A beautiful scene and poem.


Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
