Beautiful, thoughtful piece. Love the monochrome.

Superb monochrome composition, quite beautiful and thoughtful, lighting is exquisite. Bravo, well done indeed! VOTE

This Gorgeous lady thinkin' :" Once upon a time in our life, we held the key to every door, and all that i desired, was you forevermore, i found love in a heart, once broken far beyond repair, and you restored a soul, that had forgotten how to care. Everything we needed, was at our beckon call, with you and i together, we could conquer all. When i needed badly, to be cheered up for a while, you were there, and all you had to do was simply smile, and holding things together, was so easy for us to do, for you could turn to me for help, and i could turn to you, and jealousy was something that never entered our hearts, for we were made for one another, no matter where we are. When things were at their darkest, i could hold you next to me, and i knew all would be okay, for you were strong and i was weak. So given every chance for me to start my life anew, there'd be no question, i'll do it all again with you..."!!! It is Somptuous, Michele, a sudden shiver is runnin' through me!!
