Artist's Comments

i remember when I said i would always be there,
always waiting...
and i remember when we promised to be together,
but you always said....one day

These flowers were meant for you
and for our promise kept
but even though these flowers wilt
i remain true to my heart,
and Always Waiting


this is now my first Daily Deviation, i cannot thank you all enough, i am in shock :faint:

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-01-23

Always Waiting by *MPhilipPhotography is one of those portraits that will stay with you for a long time. The success of an emotional portrait is defined by how well it gets the message across and I think that with this particular one you can actually feel the heartbreak. To quote the artist.... everyone has a love story... (Featured by ^Katerina423)

Critiques


:iconcandicepaula:

I really really enjoy the negative space in this picture. It seems less "empty" and more "shapely". The composition of the piece is also very well done, with the flowers vertical like the figure, only there's those two little sunflowers that are different from the other one and have fallen down.

The lighting is great. it's nice and soft on the hands and knees and face, while letting the shoulders slip into the shadows.

The only thing I would change about this piece is the face that we can see the edge of the wall in the background. If it was a smooth surface (such as a paper backdrop), that distraction wouldn't be there.

Overall, I think this is a visually stunning piece of art.
Keep up the good work!

I know I commented on this piece before but it is worthy of more praise.... :D This is one of my favs... and I'll fav it here too just cause... I think the feel of this shot is just so vulnerable and I love seeing a man in a position of showing true emotion and not just the macho bullshit most of them front. :D
:iconmphilipphotography:
haha thank you. im glad you like it so much. this is one of my favorites as well. it is a rather different from what people are used to seeing from a man when it comes to emotion
:iconzanasoul:
