This was created for the January 2012 Contest at #MusicInspired! I just noticed something odd. When I view the original image in photoshop the colors are much more vivid. deviantART's display is washed out and dull by comparison. I recently did a revised version fav.me/d7erped

The Enigma of Life by Sirenia. youtu.be/7c38dKl-ySE

Still speaks the silence
It speaks in riddles to my mind
And time keeps passing by
As I walk tearful through this life

Dreams pass by silently,
I see them waving back at me
All hope is long since gone,
I guess it really never was there at all
A mirage passed on

[Chorus:]
I know the darkness will break me
And you can not save me, can't catch my fall
I feel the sorrow embrace me, this life depraves me
I'm lost forevermore

My life darkens year by year, and no one seems to really care
My fear always lingers here, it's growing stronger deep inside of me
It won't set me free

[Chorus]

Tears shed in silence, they run in rivers down my face
And what am I still living for, I can not take this pain no more

Lovely image, my dear. Just looking at this draws so much emotion.

I must agree with you, the background looks washed out. If the background had been a sunset, then the message would have a more powerful effect. Sunsets symbolize the end of the day.

I'm sure that there are other art out there that have the same concept as you put into this one, but something about it draws me. I think it's the model or her expression, maybe her dress.

You have photo-manipulated this very well. I thought that the cliff was part of the picture in the first place but when I saw the picture that you used for the cliff, I was surprised. It looked nothing like that, which is a good thing. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)"/>

This piece gave me quite an impact and I'm sure it would do the same to any others who set their eyes upon this. Keep up the good work!
