Artist's Comments

"What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
There's something greater there.
What is my body worth?
Was there a price set before?
It's not going to change you."

This picture has a lot of different meanings.

For me, this picture tells a story, but it's not a story that anyone else will understand.

I don't like my body. Actually, I hate it. Don't be offended.

I think this picture is about forgiveness.

Enjoy.

Wishing you the ability to accept yourself as you are...it is a great gift to do so and so few of us are able to. This is a lovely photo, very emotive...

I think the picture would've been a lot stronger if the flower was more in focus. The hands and the flower together. But I like it a lot anyways. :)

this pic rly is a stand-out. it caught my eye immediately--powerful. good job.

on a personal note...your body is not YOU...the real you is much, much too infinite to be encased in a flawed and mortal shell...

What's strange is that you & I have another thing in common
Hating our bodies.
& I mean myself hating my own body.
Not in the normal girly "omg, I'm so fat!" when I'm 70 pounds kind of "hate" like most girls hate.
I mean.. something different.
I don't know.

Care to explain to me this photo? I'd be interested in hearing.
You can write me a note if it's personal.
Or just not tell me at all if it's that personal.

No hating on your body. It's not a bad one and no that's not like e-hitting on you, it's the honest truth. The colors in this piece are amazingly unique. Makes it seem all so brittle and fragile.

And you get bonus points for quoting Sao. :nod:

A classic photo and an instant fave in my book, well done!

I enjoy good feedback, walks on the beach, candlelit dinners, and Canon DSLRs... XD

i don't think anybody likes their body.
don't be ashamed though, there's nothing wrong with it.

We should probably get used to it, but we don't.

I keep wanting to leave a comment, but the concept behind the image leaves me speechless. @_X
