Mike, you certianly did emphasize the isolation and lonely feeling with this image. no way would i brighten it up, but that's just me. that darkness really does make the mood of this IMO. i hope you will tackle this subject Mike. Start making pictures that reflect your feelings on death and talk about it. it would be good for you. i want to do the same. I'm gonna work on that. it's an important subject to deal with head on IMO. sure isn't easy though.
