Sorry I have not been around much and have nt been posting but I have had a few problems. I lost a fair amount of my sight in my right eye to chemo last year. A few weeks a go I sudenly started to lose some sight in my left eye (blurry patches), this is unrevesable as it is damge to the optic nerve due to lack of blood and oxygen to it courtsy of the chemo due to a drop in plattlets and hemagloben.Hopefully now they know to keep my blood levels up the detiriation can be aressted. I'm not complaing but this means I mow have difficulty seeing print on the computer screen even when enlarged. images are not so bad so please bear with me if my spelling seems childish. I'm learning to take pictures again even thouh I cannot see detail very well and pretty well have to get itb right in camera now. knowing where the controls are by touch helps.I will post some recent pics soon, though if you tell me they are not sharp I will have to take your word for it.  This is a old one that consists of three images composited together in elemnts.  |

Paul, while our community is growing, it is still small enough that we notice when a member goes missing. I am sorry to hear about your health issues, but your matter of fact way of dealing with them is as inspirational as your work.
I am always intrigued by well-executed composites. You have found the perfect elements and the haunting focus on the woman's eyes is perfect for the scene.
