    Sharon, I always find it difficult to convey my feelings about your photography. This is true in this case. I believe that this is a compelling photograph on many different levels.

    Sharon, I absolutely love this image. Bruce used the word "compelling" and I fully agree.

    This image is wonderful and it speaks volumes. It is one person that signifies the many lonely and heartbroken people in our world. At least that's how I see it.

    That caption made me smile even before I saw the image. Immediately thought of this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKaQzQAlNn4

    Nicely captured.

    Although you haven't posted many of them up here, I have had the benefit of seeing a lot of the images you've been making lately, particularly featuring people in pubs and restaurants.

    As I've said to you, I think you've hit on a wonderful workflow that's producing beautiful rich tones with an almost silk-like appearance. I think it works superbly.

    Another feature of these images, this one included, is that they have such a strong narrative. You don't tell the viewer what to see, but you give her/him such a strong visual image that they can then hang their own story on to it.

    And, as I keep saying, you have a in-built ability to get 'the decisive moment'.

    Sharon,

    You are undoubtedly one of CiCs top photography 'artists' and whose photos I look out for because of the mind provoking images you create.

    Never boring, never the same, always have a message.

    Donald is lucky to have been seeing a wider selection of these images. Please continue to indulge us here too.

    You deserve a bigger audience!

    If this image were posted without the caption, one would have wondered how to deal with this; giving a caption sometimes become very crucial. When someone posts an image he/she has something in mind; it is the caption which helps to find that; of course, one may look at an image independently too. I think the power of this image is half the whole from its caption; really well done
