This is beautiful, Chris. I'm sorry some people are getting hurt. I hope it stops too and that people take pleasure in the art and talent displayed in the galleries and not in their silly games.

Perfectly put Chris this is an Art comunity the people who want it to be something else and carry out their pathetic vendetas should ether piss off and leave the rest of us to get on with it or grow up and mind their own business. I am sick to death of hearing she said this he did that. So what!! I don't care. I just want to post and look at decent work. Excellent image and words Chriss.

And the people said Amen:)

Wow Chris this Image looks fantastic and beautiful !!! Excellent and Vote !!!

Beautiful picture, beautiful character and beautiful words.

I agree Chris, this is an outlet for many of us and it should be fun. Whether people like what we do or not should not be the important thing. Some are way too touchy and need to lighten up. Anyways, your Taite is gorgeous no matter what pose she is in.

Very well said, we're here for the Art! Some need to remember that!! Beautiful work and statement!!!!!

your words and image are excellent - respect !

Excellent sentiment and beautiful work Chris. Well done! Steve :o)

Dont know if she's supposed to look sad or humble, but the latter is something that a few could learn it seems. Regardless I agree with your sentiment.

Excellently put,and Love the expression. One can feel the mood by looking at her face.

Chris she's absolutely beautiful. Wonderful posing...she looks so serene.

Touching sentiment a simple, lovely portrait. Personally I think she looks weary more than anything else :)

HEAVEN!!! ........................................ ......... all i can write to THIS pice of ART! Your_words: Why hurt one the other? Sometimes i think THEY have no problems. So, they create one to talk about. OK, if they have a boring time... BUT DON'T HURT SOMEONE ELSE WITH WORDS OR DOINGS!

beautiful portrait S she looks so sad and its a shame that such loveliness should be so down :( as artists we should be supporting one another not bringing one another down - without the strength of love and encouragement, the only thing that will truly suffer is the art itself - I echo your wish, Chris, it's about the art :)

Very well put!!! Beautiful work on this portrait!! Excellent!

This is extremely beautiful and touching Chris, amazing texture and lighting... as for what you say... I hope it stops, but I guess sometimes is hard to stay quiet. Hugs

Hear, Hear! :D I feel her pain, and agree with your sentiments, let's get back to the art, and leave the childish games on the elementary playground! Excellent image!

Great portrait, what a beautiful expression, beautiful artwork! -- B.B.

..and now I'm confused. Excelent.

Hooray!!!! I know you speak for the majority of people here in what you say - you certainly speak for me!!! People should remember why they came here right back in the beginning on their very first visit and leave their egos at home! Artistic criticism is to be welcomed as a true part of what we do (even if we do not agree with comments that are made)! This is no place for personal remarks - this is a public gallery - imagine the effect this has on new Poser artists just taking a look around! I hope too that we have seen an end to this childish behaviour! AND (more importantly) your artwork is as beautiful as you are! :o)

Beautiful portrait showing the feelings of many of us at these silly games folks are playing throughout renderosity!! It is not just Poser gallery it is all of them, so sad. My matto, Live and Let Live!!

Great lighting sets the mood of this image. Lovley render

"there is enough pain in this world without bringing it here - life is a struggle at times and this place can be a refuge " -- so well stated. I think those in pain may lash out at others instead of dealing with their own dilemmas. Beautiful art work, as always. I can't draw a stick figure. And I write like a fifth grader. I see so many talents here. So many people just trying to make some sense of life. "Everybody needs somebody to love". Spend your valuable life energies on positive things. Why waste your most precious life resource, 'time'?

Oh wow she's gorgeous!!! Top marks Chris I love it Hugs Cathy xooxo

Lovely work..well spoken words!!!

Beautiful portrait and character! super dezent colors and lighting!

She is beautiful!Great lighting, and wonderful pose!!

I only come here to see what wonderful art is created here and I am not sure what has been going on but you stated your oppinion beautifully, and I hope whatever has been going on does not run artists off! Your ladies is so very lovely, I have not seen closed eyes done so realistically before! Bravo!

Just simply beautiful.
