No apologies, Lyle,... EVER. This work blows me away. I feel every little piece here, every little broken reflection, the curled up posture to hold herself together and block the rest out, and every little mark across her skin where she tried so hard to feel and not feel all at the same time. Powerful, beautiful, and raw. :)

Thank you, Bella. It's my habit to apologize for everything. LONG habit. Hope you are doing well today.

Nice work buddy! Simple but expressive, quite a hard thing to achieve.

Thank you. One of those, "I like the piece, but what it says is heartbreaking." And I think far too many could identify with it.

Nothing to forgive! We all have days that don't agree with our constitutions. Take a long deep breath, relax. Find a comfortable place and be nice to yourself. A most excellent and symbolic scene here! So many vibrations and interpretations possible.

Thanks. It means a lot.

excellent and creative

Thank you, Traces.

I know how this feels, great emotional image and really hard to pick up the broken pieces of life.

Thank you. It sure is. And sometimes even harder to find a reason to pick up those pieces.

Great work, Lyle. Great symbolism

Thank you very much.

I share your desperation, be calm my friend it will pass!!!!!😞Amazingly done my friend!!!!!👏👍🙋‍♂️

Thank you, my friend. Have an excellent Wednesday.

Wow! Wonderful picture.

Thanks!

Excellent!!! Well done

Thank you, Anita. You're very kind.

a very good image!

Thanks!

Amazing image, excellent done!!!!!!!!!!!!

This image is so powerful, and at the same time, so full of emotion! It is at times like these that words need not be spoken...for listening is more than enough! Excellent and very well done! :-)

Thank you. I appreciate the comments.

my most utilised sense is hearing [i 'see' mostly through sound than sight, if that makes any kind of sense], and this has such an interesting voice; and meanwhile, i just keep hearing a specific song, or rather the refrain of that song, in tandem with the voice... i truly want to say thank you for this treat as so many images i see these days are silent for me, and i miss this kind of interaction...

No, thank you! It is a pleasure. I like to think I'm getting more expressive, the more I do it.

Fantastic work : )

Thank you very much.

Interesting concept, the shattered mirror is awesome.

Thank you. I was inspired when I worked on it.

Honestly this isn't my sort of thing....but i can appreciate the image and what it represents and conveys that feeling and emotions other can connect with....top work and render....

Thanks, DG. I'll be back to something more upbeat soon.

Been there, done that. Got the T-shirt.... No apologies needed, buddy!

This soooo perfectly reflects (pun intended) the way I've felt a LOT the last few months. And this work just exudes raw emotion. Fantastic art, good sir.

Yeah. It's been a rough week, I tell ya. Thanks for having a look. Hopefully I'll be back on it soon. Just been a little too drained to do much of anything. Need snuggles, you know?

Very powerful image Lyle. Your lights look different in the last 2 images? Did you do something different? I watched your latest video last night and picked up a few tips that helped me out. Thanks.

I used Epic Godrays on this one. I think I just used spotlights in the last one. Thanks for having a look. I'm glass this piece has been speaking to people. That's really moving, to me. Almost like making a connection.

Your images are always so powerful. Your work is utterly amazing!

Thank you. You're too kind. I just fiddle around until I get something I think looks okay, and then hope for the best. I think the stubbornness is what gets me to that level where it's enjoyable.

so much serious mood and superb composition

Thank you, Richard. Hope you're having a better week.

Very nice. Hope the week will improve and that the weekend will be great.

Hoping to get to the beach this weekend. Air is so think with ash and smoke, it's really starting to hurt to breathe.

WOW!!! Great image!!!

Thank you. Very much.

This work has so much feeling in it. I am drawn in immediately. I can feel the pain. You hang in there.

Thank you. Like the title says, no matter the pain and numbness, I remain unbroken.

Your new image looks magnificent, I wish you a good evening and a good weekend, stay alert and in good health!

Thank you. Thanks for stopping by.

This is one class act! Superb finish and choice of clothing rocks!

Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate it. Hope you have a fantastic week!

a very beautiful composition,

Thank you dakota my dude.

This one hits home for me. I love it! I feel the loneliness, pain, and the want to give up but the need to get up, face the demons at the door, and heal to eventually become stronger and unbroken.

Thank you. It was a personal piece for a friend, but it only works because I was able to channel things I feel/felt. I'm glad you like it.
