Another beautiful image, Krystal; it looks as though all of those who are present, here, are simply suspended -- on some unknown, and timeless, celestial carousel, in space -- and I see this image as a perfect metaphor for "life." The basic "structure" of the image is enormously intriguing. It is a wonderful, deeply, and uncannily expressive "human analog," of your previous image of the flowers. They both overflow -- richly and abundantly -- with all of the sheer vitality, commonality, and essential essence of "Life!" Where life is concerned, there can be no such thing as "mundane," "common," or "inessential." Even the finest images can only capture "vague" glimpses of what this place truly consists of; yet, it is incumbent upon us to try to construct it -- as a communal venture -- lest we fail, altogether, to realize just how much we must attempt to see it as a "whole," to do all that we can to keep it from -- irretrievably -- and forever "dissolving," into "nothingness." Images are powerful, and essential instruments in ensuring that we keep this hope alive.
Wonderful image, Krystal!
Dylan, my mentor, my friend... once again you surprise me. you have taken elements and elevated them to the cosmos 
being biased of course ... The charming part of your comment is that you see the pulse of life, suspended, timeless, in this "celestial carousel" in space; Beautifully phrased. We are travelling together in time, we shall come this way but once. Life and relationships are precious we have to preserve them. Thanks so much for your comments. Krystal
I come to look for you, Krystal, everyday; just as you do for me. How could we not? That is the true nature of "Art;" to find what is new. How could it be otherwise? To chase after the "past?" The past leads us -- necessarily in the direction in which we "seek;" and in which we are "forced" to proceed. We do not go "backwards;" we never regress. That is not our nature. In any of our various, multiple enterprises. We go forward! Always. No matter how frightening the prospect of that enterprise might be. That's all we have! What else might we have, in this strange, utterly inexplicable place? We are here. More than that...we cannot know.
Hi Krystal, great indoor low light shot and very nice comp. I think that big M stand sfor MORE money 
I am not as poetic as Dylan, but I like your work. Jamm
Krystal: You do not need me...or any other mentor...you are a very, very fine artist; just trust your instincts. They're true. You're as good as it gets...just ask anyone here. They will all tell you the same. You're the top of the heap...trust me. No one will argue with that. All they have to do is look. No argument. Promise.

Dylan, this is the kindest most uplifting comment anyone ever said to me. It is touching to be recognised for something i have done. YOUR opinion counts. You lift my spirit and let it soar. As artists we could fly together...
