ps .. wot is particularly appealing to me is the way you've created that very large border .. it seems like we're looking at her thru a window .. possibly in one of those very old buildings in a village in italy or tuscany or something ... i've never been there, but its wot came to mind ..
the old stone building feeling .. the woman .. even in her modern attire she still seems to have an old fashioned quality about her .. possibly the hair .. and even with those modern signs, this entire image has that 'back in time' feel .. obviously your processing, with the border and the overlay .. bloody brilliant .. :)x.
anyhooooooo .. just thought i'd 'voice' wot i was thinking .. :)
OMG ALICIA !!!!!!!!!!
the thumb jumped right out at me in pik your fav pic .. and then i noticed your name .. my first thought before opening it was that it looked quite different from your usual style ..
its quite beautiful .. that overlay/texture, the photograph and your process all go to making this extremely excellent !! ..
also I LOVE THAT POEM .. brilliant ..
so combined .. the lyric and your image .. definitely a big WOW .. !!!! ..:)X
