Daily Deviation

Given 2012-05-02
i miss you... by *kokoszkaa is emotional and very well-done. I was especially impressed with the quality and detail with which the rain was added and the contrast of the red rose against the gray, heightening drama. ( Suggested by ^3wyl and Featured by ^Aeirmid )

It is better to have loved and lost than never to have love or loss at all. This image really hits the heart. Being somebody who has loved and lost, I know how hard it is to continue on. Not only is the rain a nice touch on the emotion that is pouring from this image, but the bright red of the rose is a very nice depiction of a bleeding wound.

The lean of his body, as well as the slumping forward of his shoulders, is very suggestive of a heavy weight upon him and I like that a lot. Even though his head is bowed, you can still clearly see the overall emotion in his face.

I love how the viewers can make a connection to this picture. I can look at it and see the same feeling I felt. I can see me in his shoes. This reflection is very important and with the city behind the steady flow of rain, which I'm sure is commonly referred to as the tears, it reflects a bigger picture. One man in a large world. You can have everything but lose it in a matter of moments.

The only thing that I would really ask of the artist for the bench, not the rose. to be blurred a slight bit as well, just to outline the male's figure a tad more.

Overall, very well done. One of my favorites.

this piece is really emotive. you capture the viewer immediately with your clever combination of this intimate moment contrasting with the overall desolate mood. technically this piece is brilliant and really convincing. overall your great concept outshines technique. you have created a strong connection between the viewer and character , not an easy task! my only suggestion would be to consider losing the rose. i think its colour draws alot away from the photo. and in a way is overly sentimental and romantised but in general i love this piece. the clothing add greatly to this especially the cane. not to mention your brilliant landscape and perfect rain.

This is fantastic. I can see why it was a DD! Love how the rose really stands out here. And just how oppressive the rain is...

I used the title of this awesome piece to create a found poem for a project going on.

The song that would perfectly go with this piece , is Ludovico Einaudi-Monday ... playing that song along with the sound from rainymood, is like getting a whole story behind the picture. Something that I don't have enough words to describe, really amazing piece of art :)
