this is the first time I have ever done this-it took me a million shots to get one OK entry!
"You Never Notice Me"
The clouds of sorrow cast
a shadow of fear within my home.
I feel the cold bitter blast,
as the tempest rages and groans.
I hide in the dark corner of my room
sheltered from the storm.
I hear the loud thunder booms,
the roar shocks my trembling form.
I long for protection from the afflicting wind.
I long for grace and love to be
my rock, my refuge, my friend.
But peace, you never notice me.
Am I just a forgotten thought
or am I veiled by insecurity?
I want to live where hope is sought,
an yet, you never notice me."

Mandy - this took a lot of talent to execute and a lot of chutzpah to enter. I knew it was you right away. It's a GREAT shot and speaks to many people on many levels. Keep up the good work!
Very very interesting effect. There is something dark and moody that I really like about this image. Definately like the b/w treatment. I actually think the plug receptacle helps this shot as well. Very nice.
Got my attention. It's very powerful, even without the terrific, disturbing title. Is it a relection in a window? Is that a light switch? Why is it there? Are those knees, in the bottom half of the image? Who never notices you? That's why I like it so much ... it's visually arresting and it raises more questions than it answers. My definition of art. 9
Wow very well done. like the plug on the wall. It adds a quality to this photo that otherwise may not have been there. The right amount of noise/grain and love the B&W conversion. Well done and good luck in this challenge. <10>
I'm very interested to see how this one does. I gave you a 10. This definately doesn't fall within the spectrum of what I think will get voted to the top because it's too sad, emotional, and the photo has a old and scratchy feel to it. But that's precisely why I like it. Great emotion capture.
This is a wonderful photograph. It is also very sad. I am not sure about the wall sockets - they are a bit distracting, but somehow add to the sense of chaos.
To me, this is both creepy and sad. Creepy because I just got done watching a spooky horror film and sad because of the title. There are three things bother me about this photo. One, the outlet and two, what is it that is over what I assume is a floor board and three, why is there another pair of legs in the picture. They don't seem to belong.
What an incredible image. This should be hanging in a gallery in London or New York. The emotions are so strong within it that I can hardly tear myself away from it to write about it, let alone express what it's making me feel. I like that th main texture, the main thing that's solid is a weathered piece of wood and this unnoticed girl is a shadow behind it. Black and white perfect for it. Shame about the blown highlights to the right of the bar but doesn't stop it from being a 10.
Beautiful Emotive image! Pm me (it doesnt matter when i cant vote anyways) because i would like to look at other photos you have taken. This is a very strong image. I wish you the bestof uck in the challenge!
