Hmmmmmmm ..... Intense, very intense. Nicely done! ;=]

Hey this is really nice....you know it is just part of life, those moods pop up and you have captured it very well. Sharen

I love the shine in the eye. I think we've all had those moods now and then. I've used those moods myself, for inspiration on an image. Sometimes they're just your muse talking to you. Great job! Melanie

Powerfull imagery! Yes i really like the intensity of it. Nice work. Happy rendering, Jeff

Gabe, it is so easy to tell others how to get out of those moods, and so hard to take one's own advice... but may I suggest getting outside and breathing deeply and letting some sunlight fall on your face? Beyond all our concerns and worries the stars still shine, and sometimes as close as our own sun.

Thanks all for the imput, I have been in one of theese moods for a bit longer than I want to. It has gotten to the point that I can't even get inspiered... I think you have the right idea, but it has been sleeting and clowndy, here for the last three days... I am waiting for the sun. -Gabe-

You're not alone. I live in Oregon, where it rains a lot and we get some snow, and every year I get what I refer to as my "Freaky February Frankensteins." I've had enough of winter and the gray skies. I need some summer. So, I know exactly what you're saying. It looks like we're going to have some sun here this week. Looking forward to it. :) Melanie

The have "sun" lamps, and people who suffer from seasonal depression can sit for a half hour a day in bright natural full-spectrum light and that seems to do the trick. Other kinds of depression are harder to deal with... basically because it isn't the weepies but the lack of desire to do anything which is the problem. I'm fortunate to have friends who will pull me out of the house by my heels when it gets too bad. (Any activity or change of pace often helps.) Carolly
