missing piece.

In the interest of full disclosure, we are HUGE fans of yours. That having been said, this piece lives up to your previous works in terms of quality, technique, and vision!

The title evokes a great degree of loneliness as does the empty swing next to the young girl. The falling star, and its attendant wish, offers us hope that there will be a happier ending to this melancholy story.

The Good: You have told an incredibly deep story here. The colors are awesome and the way you have composed this picture is just fantastic! We are pleased to say that your style continues to impress and amaze us and if it weren't for these pesky things like jobs and life in general getting in the way, we would spend all of our time staring at your pictures.

The Bad: Like we said, this picture is tinged with a bit of melancholy and it makes us a little blue too look at it. Okay, the fact that it makes us feel means that you have created a picture with emotional impact and that's not bad (it's great), but we're putting it under The Bad Section because this is our critique! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="387" title=" (Wink)"/>

The Ugly: We're not even going to joke about there being anything ugly here.

We are giving you highest marks for this picture and you deserve them!
