Follow through
Make your dreams come true
Don't give up the fight
It'll be all right
'Cause there's no-one like you
In the universe

And during the struggle
They will pull us down
But please, please let's use this chance
To turn things around
And tonight we can truly say
Together we're invincible.

A very simple object, but come out from a brilliant idea and execution! Great color tone and compposition!
Sincerely, Imelda

A really great note with this! Very well done!! TFS

Bonjour Rew
Il me semble qu'il y a beaucoup d'émotion dans cette prise de vue, je me trompe ?

Amicalement

Sylvain

Feelings, emotions, health, illness...
life is a truly endless fight.
Your shot touches deeply my soul.
TFS
Ciao, Antonella

congratulations, it's touching and.. again sth new in your portfolio; perfect composition and DOF!
regards - Tomasz

Hi Rew,

i really hope this is not someone you love or any of your models.

a nice clean shot, mate. great focusing on the right part.

TFS
regards
Agoes

Hi Rew,

This is something very new. Hang in there, for both you and the patient. Thanks for sharing this.

Allan

Hi Rew,

Great reminder for all of us . . the picture is perfectly matched with the notes . .
Excellent shot . .

Wishing you always be happy and healthy . .

Tfs,
Tjutjut

A bit scary.. and sad... but thats the message you probably wanted to share and it worked!!
I Hope this person is OK now..
powerful shot!
LuDivine

Not you Rew?
Very good POV and focus on just the right place.
Good shot
Janice

This image gives me the creeps.

Last time I went to hospital, I nearly died. I had to have a kidney removed (cancer) and it went wrong. I had about 6 of these things going at one point.

I'm really glad Chari's OK... do not take good health for granted, but rather be thankful for it while you have it, and don't waste it.

I'd much rather be looking at your pictures of pretty women.

But, it's a good photo. The kind of thing Stock photo agencies pay for, there's a thought...

Stay well

nice compo here pare, always love this kinds of shots and now with a strong message and a story as well, congrats rew

Whose arm is this Rew? Clever use of shallow depth in excellent focus here. Good shot under difficult lighting pushing up the ISO to 800. Pleasant note fro Muse lyric. Thanks for sharing and best regards. Jusni

not an usual subject, well done framing, the use of DoF is well done, artistic & emmotional shot

Like every one else I think your notes are effective in promoting the mood the image. Well captured in the natural light - choice of DOF well shown.

Dan

I thought there on your wife's hand I can see a white bracelet as we use in hospital to put on the the hand of a new mother.I really wanted to believe that was true....
And yes we are invincible,never forget this :)
And the women are always more ...strong ;)
Hugs

Completely different from your normal work Rew and an excellent result with good focus and colour. Glad the boss is okay after this, well done,
Dave

hello Rew

Reading the title is enough to know your mind. A fighter. Overcome. Being strong. Being invincible.

Stay well and keep close.

tfs, bill

Hi Rew,

Anan

Hi Rew,
I hope this is not you. Anyway, good portrayal of your theme ... I suppose modern medicines also makes us feel invincible :) Well captured and presented! tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Hiya Rew

If I had a penny for the number of times I have returned to this shot I would by now be a rich woman.. but who needs the money!

Absolutely haunting shot here, everyone has already mentioned the DOF and lighting ect... but what makes this image for me is the true photographer behind it. We can all point and shoot or point.. set the camera and shoot.. but a true photographic ability shows through here.. its not something that can really be taught.. it comes from within.. its seeing a view and knowing that that view shown in an image will move people and my friend you have such a talent for that I can only applaud you.

I am glad to read that all is well and that you had the courage to capture this shot.

Kind regards Helen

Hi Rew,

Brilliant..
I loved the notes... a dear one..
All the best.

Hello my friend,

I have read some of the comment here, and know that everything is all well.. and is someone close to you. I like your notes.. no one said life is easy... so take one day at the time. :D Good photo, DOF and subject combine with nice message,

Hope all goes well...

Take care,


Cheers,
Sweety

Hi Rew
I wish you and your wife all the best at this time. My wife knows how you are feeling as she was on the side you are last Wednesday, as I was admitted on emergency basis.
I saw this and could relate immediately.
Rew others have commented on the shots details, but that was not why it caught me, it was having been there in the same position just a couple of days ago.
And its the thought of knowing that someone cares and is with you through those times that matters regardless of which side of the bed you are on.
All the best
Wayne

Well you've certainly caused a lot of drama and aroused some intrigued reactions... You've posted a moving image that workes like a trigger for memories. Excellent focus!
I love Muse, but I always get too emotional when listening to it cause I remeber a dear lost friend. Some don't make it in the end...Glad your friend did! :)
Best regards,
Diana

Very powerful photo, compliments !
Not much to add...
Cath.

Touching and courageous shot Rew.
Wow, i hope everything is ok now?
Such Depth of Feeling here. It's of course technically excellent too. But also makes one stop and think and be thankful. Great work.

- Vincent

I hope not your hand Rew.
very nice and touching portrait,
good focus and great POV and DOF,
nice portrait.

Haldian

Hi Rew,
Missed this intrigue imagemy friend. The shallow DOF is perfect an unusal picture but with an certain depth. Does this story has a happy ending?
Hans

Read that it is your wife, all the best for her and you my friend!

Bonjour Rew
An original picture i guess, very nice focus and love the composition! Great work!
