Artist's Comments

This is technically a repost of the previous picture with the same title, but it has some changes that I think make it that much better.

Firstly, it's larger. I think that alone makes it better - I felt the other one was much too small.

Second, following the suggestion of nous-sommes-vous, I did not lay the picture of the rose over her belly. I think that it makes a huge difference in the picture, so thank you much, nous-sommes-vous.

Also, here I will repost what I put in the description of the last one.

This is a photograph of a girl I know at school. She's very beautiful, and I managed to get a photo of her laying down (with her permission, of course). I decided to lay a picture of an orange rose over the top of her because if she were anything in life other than a human, she would be a rose. Beautiful, intelligent, colorful and above all, harmful if handled wrong. But at the same time, so fragile...

I love the contrast in this picture. I think the peeking bellybutton kind of made this whole picture :) I wish she wasn't so slanted to the right, but its just a small thing. Also, I think its simply beautiful that you would think of people in such an interesting way. She would be flattered if you tell her you're like a fragile rose to her :).

Actually, I can't believe I didn't notice the slant before. I'll have to fix it sometime, but it'll probably take me an hour or two because I'll end up redoing the picture or something. :)

The person in the picture actually saw the original deviation and she read the description... when I talked to her in real life, she gave me a hug and said that it was one of the nicest things anyone had said. I felt so embarassed, I didn't know she was going to read it.

Gah. I replied to my own picture instead of the comment YET AGAIN.

I'm sorry I had to mention the slant, but I hope you won't disturb too much of the picture. Still, you're the artist, and you know whats best for your babies.
You shouldn't keep these things by yourself, do let others know how much you appreciate them. It would really make their day. Far from being embarassing, I think it is so much nicer to be compared to a rose than some boring old guy saying normal stuff like 'your neck is like a pillar of marble'.
I'm glad she saw the picture :). Its an honor to be a model of such a beautiful picture.

No, I'm actually glad you mentioned the slant - it's definitely something that's wrong with the picture, and it could use some correcting. I'll probably get around to it sometime, and it won't be too much trouble at all. :)
It's really so hard to tell people such things, though. I mean, some people would react very poorly if I told them what I thought of them, even if what I thought was positive. It's always so hard to judge how someone will react, and I never want to cause a problem.

Well some people would think it is rude to mention things like that, and especially girls would think you're hitting on them so I do agree it would be risky :).
I guess it boils down to how sincere you are. As a girl, I wouldn't mind if a guy I know comes up to me and says something like that, but I would mind very much if a stranger says that with a sleazy look in his eye...
I think it is the same expression when you tell your mom you love her. Its not shoe-polishing or anything, its just telling her something you've always felt which incidentally would make her very happy :).
Gosh, I sound so corny..! :)
