Not sure if this will fly for sadness. This was my very poor attempt at creating something that was along the lines of pointandshoot. I love his images as seen through textures - both physical and through double exposures. I have always found them pleasing (as can be seen in my fave folder). The title is a haiku that I threw together. I like haikus every so often as a title. They can be interesting. This one probably isn't really interesting but I thought it may be a good match for the image and the challenge. But odds are the title and the image both suck and will get me another low 5 score. Oh well. I am enjoying them both.
And to be clear - my little girl is so far from despondence. ;)

Hmmm, very interesting - the sadness is not one that is in your face but more of a having to study the image to appreciate it. I hope the voters are taking the time to look and appreciate. I like the glass wall and the hand that has made the attempt to break through. The image is primarily cast in a dark light - ala the darkness of the mind/mood. The way I see it is that the person trapped behind the glass wall is a person trapped by their own depression. Attempts are made and there are cracks but the wall has yet to shatter. An attempt to punch through results in a minimal success (the hand) but at the risk of getting cut. I read desperation and depression in this image. My only critique is that I wish more of the facial expression was visible so that the emotions could be more strongly portrayed. (not voting)
