Artist's Comments

It was the first time she was trying a video call. Obviously, she started off excited and extremely happy to talk to a loved one oceans away.

Until she got the news she could have done without.

Critiques


:iconprincekarr:
It's all too easy to get wrapped up in the technicality of the art world but one thing I love with Fulkrum's work above many others? it's incredibly expressive and human! All too often people have got engaged in the world and not really stepped back to admire the up and downs, this piece certainly managed to express that.
The emotion on this is raw, captured with a sense that you would just want to be there with that person to try and help them. Something wonderful about the human form, it's emotion and this artist has captured it. Perfectly.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
4 out of 5 deviants thought this was fair.

Thank you for your Critique

It's very sweet and emotional. The first time I did a video call it was like that. It really opens up the world. The captions really are so true.

Thank you. And yeah, for better or worse it does open up the world.

You consistently achieve in your photography what many photographers find very elusive and that is, tell a story. You have the ability to see the story and capture it and you do it very well. This photo is a wonderful example of that ability. A spectrum of emotion was perfectly captured and conveyed.

I am deeply moved by it. Looking at it I can't help but feel what she's feeling — from her unrestrained joy to the broken-hearted tears. I can't imagine that anyone seeing this wouldn't want to reach out and comfort her somehow. I know I want to.

In my opinion, the emotional impact alone makes this photo flawless. :+favlove:

Agree.

Shame it's a double-edged sword too though. Tsk. Oh well. :)
