The tears of a blue-eyed angel- a very striking image. Notice how the background, I assume it is a blanket, suggests a wing peeking over her shoulder. Very well done.

You can feel it.

This is my first day in View Bug.I have been browsing for hours.Been teaching myself Manual photography for about three years.This capture right here put my breaks on.Wonderful,painful to look at as it is so deep. Great work.You are my first comment.thank you for the post.

Write a commentI'm having a hard time leaving this pic.The tension in the muscles at the corners of her mouth and above her eyes are incredible.Sometimes people need a good cry and can't manage it.this pic will do it.Congratulations again.
