 This is around 5-6 textures with images of flowers and barbed-wire that I took today.


"The Fragile"

she shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters when everything is meaningless

fragile
she doesn't see her beauty
she tries to get away
sometimes
it's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away

I won't let you fall apart

she reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
hoping someone can see
if I could fix myseld I'd - but it's too late for me

I wont let you fall apart

we'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
...but they keep waiting
...and picking...

it's something I have to do
I was there, too
before everyhting else
I was like you

Absolutely stunning image. It is just perfect in composition, lighting, and detail. Love the verse you put in your comments.

This is stunning, Dylan. I can only imagine how much work went into creating this from the different layers and getting them to blend perfectly. There something sad about this, and yet it's hopeful. Hope to see more during the month.

Those earthy colors really work beautifully in setting off the flower bud.

The paper background is really cool, I like the tones it brings to the photo, the writing is a little light. I struggled to read the "wont let". I love the color of the flower and the overall composition is beautiful.

Really nice, the old paper effect looks like a letter written 100 years ago that you've dug out.

I think it looks awesome, the flower/bud looks so simple yet stands out against the elements around it.

This is SO VERY, VERY beautiful. I love the depth of color of the Magnolia - and the gentleness of the words - sigh... WONDERFUL!

An interesting optical illusion with the barbed wire - if you look at the words, you can't see the wire. You have to look away and look back to find it. Very artfully constructed - you have a very good creative eye to see the possibilites and the skill to realize them.

Beautiful image and artwork. You've really developed your own style. Sorry to hear you won't be continuing in this challenge, Dylan. Wish you'd change your mind.

Oh, this is BEAUTIFUL! I love LOVE those rich brown/red tones. I am in awe of you guys who make such stunning art with overlays and textures. I pretty much suck at it, but I love that type of photography/art so much!

Very nice work with the overlays. This image and the poem/lyrics are perfect for one another.

I feel the layers have added time to this image..... Worldly and a feeling of something in the past..... An amazing effect here, emotive and senious, and so well done..... TIMELESS.....

I love how the words fade in and out. I seriously believe that you can't have TOO many layers. Each one adds such a dimension to a shot. I think this is quite lovely, Dylan~ so glad you are joining us this month. ;~)
