the way i see it is this, it is impossible to forgive, unless you can forgive yourself first.

tearful reminder that none of us at all is perfect and forgiveness is the only remedy for what ails us all!

BEAUTIFUL! I think I prefer the Black & White because it seems more emotional. The full photo is beautifully done and I like the dreamy look of it all. And, of course, the close up is the important part--the touching of one person to another signifying Love and Acceptance and Forgiveness.

Awesome Photograph....Superb: it invokes both Love, and Saddness..... In todays world, peace is hard to come by. It seems every where we look we see turmoil and disorder and all the things that combine to make our Existence a very stressful one. To make matters worse, we often blindly follow our own paths, trying to create a perfect environment for ourselves. But we end up failing miserably. How then can we find the calm and quiet we need to be truly content? By seeking for and immersing ourselves in God. God tells us over and over in the Bible that we must seek peace in everything we do. Be at peace with God--letting go of your worries will help you become supernaturally relaxed. Bed at peace with yourself-- understanding how to strive for calm will help you overcome those mental and spiritual storms. Bea at Peace with othersmaintaining a mind-set of quietude in your relationships with ultimately enhances your search, both with God and with-in yourself. Be led by peacediscovering how a peace-filled attitude affects every aspect of your life will make you more able to embrace it. (Joyce Meyer, In Pursuit of Peace, Warner Faith, New York, Boston, Nashville) I really believe that it is Peace that Sets Us Free..... With Love, Sister Mary

I like the concept of the picture but the background needs to be darken out some how or crop the picture.

Artist Reply: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REPLY...BUT WHAT IS UN THIS PHTO IS MEANT TO BE SEEN AS IT WAS AND IS PRETTY MUCH...I HAVE OTHER CROPS BUT LIKE THIS ONE THE MOST AND THE IMAGE WASN'T CHANGED MUCH EXCEPT FOR THE COLORS TAKEN OUT AND A SOFT HAZE ADDED TO CREATE A SENSE OF TIME GONE BY IN A DREAM LIKE FEEL...IF THERE ARE IMPERFECTIONS IN THIS WORK OR SCRATCHES ETC. I WISH TO LEAVE IT AS IT IS AND WAS...THE WHOLE OF THE PHOTO AS IF PASSED FROM THE MOMENT ON IS IMPORTANT TO THE FEELINGS AND THUS THE BACGROUND TOO IS PART OF THIS MOMENT...IT SETS THE SCENE WITH IT'S WINDOWS AND TABLE BLURRED IN THE MOOD...I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR THOUGHTS HOWEVER AND FOR LOOKING AT THIS PIECE IN PARTICULAR. MAY YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY. PEACE AND LOVE SINCERELY CHRISTINE
