Thank you Techo for your understanding. Thanks Yvonne for your kind words. after reading these comments, it is satisfying that i was able to convey some of my feelings through the image. -Abstract

Abs, This is a very nicely done shot and it is very symbolic. Sometimes hurt eats away at us slowly. The colors, composition and lighting are great. Yvonne

No worries & thanks Abstract. I got into a friendly internet confrontaion once, even though it was friendly It wasn't very pleasant, it was nothing really. I should be even more careful anyway. :) but I'm thinking sorry for cluttering up the OT comments for your photo. You obvisiously put a lot of thought into this photo and it shows in the details.

Techo, i know you were refering to setting-fire with respect to Rod's awesome news paper shot...so it wasnt offensive. i am sorry, if my comment gave you that impression. -Abstract

Sorry Abstract. My apologies. If you deem so , please delete my comment.

Thank you aam. you are very kind with your words. :)
Techo, i doubt i would be setting fires...i am sure, my apartment manager wouldnt appreciate a big black burn stain.
Rod, i see your point but i believe in subtility. i feel everything doesnt need to be graphic as long as the image relays the necessary message.
btw i dont see any reason of responding to your question (about burning the card), especially considering the tone of it. comments on techincal aspect of photos (exposure, composition etc) is a not a problem but 'smileys' magically do not make comments inoffensive, especially in personal emotional matters. you must be careful.
thank you for your smoke/burn-scar comment though. -Abstract

Now Rod, I don't think Abs is ready for that step? yet? or maybe he's not that kinda guy.

;)

Would have been nice to see some of the burn scars & smoke to give meaning to your words. Did you burn the card, or were you just being dramatic?:-)

Opps, add "have" to my comment.

You should work in advertisement Abs, you very creative ideas.

Techo, thats exactly the reason for the stem to go through 'happy' word. thank you for your comments. -Abstract

Very thoughtful comments. Which do very well relate to this photo. I find that the stem going through the letter 'A' in happy stands out like a cross through one's heart aswell?
