Art is a good way to work out inner demons.

I did a lot of editing on this one. Used the crackle texture in Photoshop and finally found some use for a set of grunge brushes I downloaded.

Thanks for the all the nice comments.It really means a lot to me. So many of you are compassionate and caring so I'll share...

My husband (we have been together 12 years) walked out of my life and shattered my world. He was everything to me. This image has helped me heal my soul, if that makes sense. I am starting to piece my life together and I think I will be OK. This is an image of genuine sadness.

This site and photography helps me and so many people here that it should be prescribed by doctors!

Thanks for listening.

All the best to you!

i love this image .. it was powerful before i read your comment .. its now more so ... i love the processing you've done .. it is dramatic in a very subtle way .. bit of a contradiction, but i'm sure you get the idea ...
anyway, i'm hoping you have a good sleep tonight after looking at my nightmare!! ..
i've read your comments here, and i feel for you in your pain .. i totally understand that working on a piece of art can heal your soul ... this site and my photography helps me too ... i've found it a wonderful place to share my creative side, which is the biggest side i have !! .. but also to get to know other ppl with a similar obsession .. i'm hoping that if you have time that you're in a team .. the team i'm in now called the harajuku girls is the most awesome thing since being in dpc .. we all seem to be getting to know each other so well and it is totally wonderful ..
this is a site that my nephew sent to me .. you might find it interesting .. i should'v put this in a pm but i'm in a hurry and so i'm putting it in here .. its about happiness .. about happiness ..

Wow, Robin. You really captured alot of emotion here. You take some awsome risks and produce such art. I love the combination of dark, soft and crackled. It really speaks volume.

I love this!

I'm a big fan of the various artistic touches you can apply to photography through the wonders of PS.

This is just terrific!

Wow, Robin! This is so awesome! The added photoshop glam REALLY intensifies the emotion and deep feeling. I have been so behind the curve on brushes, but this and Jutilda's work so inspire me to figure it out!

This is just beautiful photography!
