Forsaken

A very beautiful creation Kaushik. Great contras, composition, and lightning. Best regards, Torfinn.

I like the distant view of the boat, with the anchor placed forefront. Nice B/W.

as always a perfect light !!! 6-6

Beautiful. Conveys the mood wonderfully well. Regards, Rajiv

Of course I like it, it's beautiful and I could not do as well. I wonder however how it would look with the anchor separated from the boat .. the tones are beautifiul, the perspective too ..

Excellent composition, Kaushik. Congrats!

Abandoned by deborah elaine barrie 2008©

 

 

She stared

 

Out the kitchen window

 

Down to the beach below

 

As she slowly washed the dishes

 

Her mind was not on her task

 

But on the boat

 

That lay stranded on the shore

 

She felt a kinship with it

 

She too was close to her dreams

 

But not quite within reaching distance

 

Close only counts

 

In horse shoes

 

She heard her father’s laughter

 

And words

 

Echo through her mind

 

She wondered

 

What he would think

 

Of her abandoned dreams

 

The dish in her hand

 

Sparkled

 

The way her eyes once had

 

She looked at the anchor

 

Lying just ahead of the boat

 

Taunting it

 

The way the band on her finger

 

Seared her soul

 

But the tide would come

 

And the boat would sail

 

Again

 

She smiled

 

As she set down the dish

 

She removed her apron

 

And walked to the door

 

Then as she turned

 

To look at her ring

 

Sitting in the windowsill

 

The sparkle

 

Returned to her eyes

 

And she walked away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A very pleasing subject. I find it somewhat awkward as far as the empty space. Possibly cropping to a square format? The vignetting at top works very well
