Goodbye My Love

Overall, an incredible, moving work of art. The errant strands of hair are a wonderful touch, adding an unconscious sense of realism to the work. The glow on the jewel on the finger really helps bring it out, and directs attention down to the journal and note on her dress. The background is blended seamlessly and seems to be part of the photograph (I'm assuming it's photomanipulation, but I honestly can't tell what has actually been done to it, so I'm guess.) The tear on her cheek is difficult to see, but quite striking once it is revealed and the color tones really help to set off her hair. In short, a lovely piece of work.
