What a day... But I guess we all had days like that in our lives unfortunately, so this feels sort of "been there, done that" to me ;-) You shouldn't have deleted your photo though, that wasn't fair and now we are all bruised too! The knee doesn't look that bad ;-), but how about the self-esteem, young lady??
You had a wonderful idea for this one actually, turning a bad moment into a fine photo! That's the kind of thing I like. The pp is wonderful, with the grainy texture and the sepia tones working very well together.
Great note too, I love to read it!
Take care of those bruises will you? Especially the ones inside...

Always good when things happening to you, we then see a nice picture:-))
Aaaaahhhh, no, joking of course, because it isn't a nice picture, now I'm joking again:-)). You always have amazing and very long stories (there are more pictures I have to comment) and a picture which is a good choice, as here.
That's funny....

Hi Ayda,
Oh, this is the second bruised leg image I've seen in a short time. But, yours is much softer from composition and lighting, thankfully, so I can bear to look and leave a comment. And, your sensitivity really helps mute it down. Life is funny, isn't it? But, the next time you fall, don't let it bruise you, just laugh it off.
Take care.

You have beautifull legs spite of the bruise Ayda dear ;-). A noce idea to turn a bad moment in to a good moment. Hehe, i have done the same thing to, thought i coudl jump a fence in high heels and a mini skirt...i could not...so i ripped my skirt, bruised my knee and scraped my but...don't ask how i did it al cause i have no idea in thsi world. Lets jsut sday i was glad i was close to home so i could run home and change,. I was on my way to a date, and late allready hehe, so i chose jeans and no high hells, went the same way and jumped the fence sucessfully. When arriving i noticed i was better of with the jeans too hehe, as we had a kind of casual date. So sometimes something good can come out of something bad. Jsut wanted to share a litle story about bruised knees :-) I wil miss seeing that picture you deleted. I am sure it was wonderfull. Different screens can do a lot. You should not care about it. If i look at my pictures from work, i am amazed over teh difference. But it will varey from screen to screen. When i come home again, they look like i remeber. You do wonderfull art Ayda. Please don't have low self estime about it. You have a great talent. Just look at this...you managed to make a sensual image out of your bruiced knees. :-)

A big hug to you dear.

Hi Ayda,
well, something good comes from this "hell day" and is this beautiful shot! While I was reading about your landing I rememeberd myself, just this morning, doing the exact same thing.. landing with my left knee in the floor because I was trying to put my two feet in the same part of the trouser and, as it is impossible I finished with all my humanity on the floor :( . I was a bit more lucky than you, because I was at home..!!
Hey, promise that you'll never delete a shot again! Or more, post it tomorrow again!! come on, don't be shy ;-)))))))
Be well and recover soon!

You know what grandmother would say..."Oh dear, better put some ice on that" Hope to see your legs get better and do not let your soul get bruised. I think you are a tough cookie and will do OK.
Nice soft photo with tones that hide a bit that big bruise. Take care of yourself.

What's this about a lack of self confidence??? I think that's all just in your head, Ayda... you seem to be very confident to me.

The tension created by the diagonal orientation of your feet intersecting with the corner is where I find myself returning to... very nice poem ~ thank you for sharing.

Doesn't life bruise us each and every day ? Could be fysical, mental or emotional.
It's a good thing you didn't fall, er, backwards ;-)
Would have been slightly more difficult to take a picture of, wouldn't it ?
I've seen some other bruises on TL but never so gently presented. The reduction of contrast and grain give a soft touch, like a bandage.
Wish you health and balance.

OK no good. But blessedly we are given healing all the time. And we are stronger than we know. Don't let your confidence down my friend. These knocks are just testing your resolve.

The picture is some what out of focus. But still does show the offending bruise. You sure did it well. hope you have no doubt healed fully by now.

Do hope that each days sees you being stronger, and each time you fall in any way that you get up knowing that you can take more than you will ever be given in the way of grief.

Yours with good hearted wishes
Francis
