Watching through the shattered glass
to the broken heart, everyday looked the same
Swollen eyes and trembling lips could not bear to ask
about the letter that never came.
Anybody can do it.

    Great shot, wfeller! thumb.gif

    When I first read the Title and looked I saw a letter 'C' formed by the hole in the glass! Only after a second look did I notice the 'Letter Box'!

    Woot!

    Beauty! (In Aussie lingo that means it's good deal.gif).

    The title has been used famously before, I think... in a painting???

    I think the photo is so stark, so physically forceful, that the accompanying verse is inappropriately over-sentimental.

    An alternative processing might be to brush back in extra contrast in places, maybe vignette, (maybe even some selective color at very low opacity eek7.gif).

    EDIT Oh, on second scrutiny I see that you have already done the contrast-vignette thing... yet still full drama isn't quite there...

    Very creative.............to see it, photograph it, then to add to it with your thoughts in word.

    Thanks for your comments. Certainly worth considering.
