EGAD! A Shakespeare quote! How sophisticated. I don't get how it's related to the pic - probably because I'm not familiar with the complete sonnet (the only work of Shakespeare which I ever read is Hamlet). I'll have to look it up sometime. Anywhoo... It's an awesome pic.

p.s.: curse the Elfwood spell checking!

Loverly! ^^ I love the posing and all the contrast--it's very... um, well, black-and-white. I love how dramatic you made the scene, and how well you captured emotion. Four stars!

--Her face looks kinda funny, I think it's the angle. Not sure though. But great work overall! Keep it up =P

Hey, how come you get cool looking handwriting? Mine's awful, you can barely read it most of the time. The sonnet you wrote on the pic is a nice touch. It's a great picture too, lots of feeling. Good work on her expression, and as ususl, nice attention to detail.

Huh, a woman? The sonnet was addressed to a man, wasn't it?

Anyway, great picture!

MAy I compare thee to a summer's day?! . . . Rough winds do shake the darling BUDS of May. Saw a really amusing performance of this sonnte, where it was used in all sorts of situations: eg, this guy trying to flirt with two s, a woman talking ot her dying husband, and some insane Shakesperians acting out everything literally (eg. as long as eyes can see, puts on p[air of glasses)
