I love quoting with visuals. Lovely choices to both
This photograph seemed to need it; and actually it completely changed the meaning of the image for me… but in a good way.
What a beautiful, beautiful photograph. The rumpled bed, the light, the smoke curling upwards from the cigarette. Fabulous quote, too. Just stunning. Jane xxx
Thank you! One of those photographs I imagined before I took it; and was very pleased it worked.
I love the smoke from the cigarette; wonderful photography :)
Thank you! I’m very happy with it.
The quote and the picture compliment each other so well. I’m almost speechless!
Wow – speechless, eh? The quotation completely changed the meaning of the photograph, but I do adore it for that.
Oh, how I’ve missed your beautifully textured and nuanced images. Gorgeous post…
Aww, thank you so much. Lovely to hear from you!
I feel like I have stepped back in time and found myself in 1960′s Paris. I don’t know exactly why this image makes me feel that way but it does and it is one of those images that makes my imagination fire up with all sorts of scenes that could be played out here

Yes! That’s what I like about it as well: it’s atmospheric and it holds so many possible meanings, and sins… thank you.
I really love this picture. I actually own several with similar themes and construction that hang in my bedroom.
Oh, how lovely! Thank you.
Beautiful stark imagery, very powerful with the message you chose.

Thank you; I was very happy when I found the quotation.
Beautiful composition.
Thank you.
Somehow this image made me feel sad, lonely. As if something is missing… I think I feel the loneliness the quote evokes.
Beautiful photo!

Yes; when I took it, it was really just about the possibility of morning. But the quotation changed it to something sadder… which I really like. But it’s certainly lonely.
oh i LOVE this photo. beautiful composition!
Thank you so much!
Oh my! This is an awesome shot! Love the post editing. Good job!
Thank you! I do like to play with those sliders when I’m editing.
Once again you have raised the bar lovely. I do love quotes to go with photos. Beautiful yet slightly sad xx
Well, I couldn’t love it untainted, could I? I’m all about the dark side. And thank you!
Lovely image & quote to go with it; the lighting and composition as well as the smoke give it a mysterious feel.

Thank you! I’m quite fond of it myself.
Fabulously sad but kind of uplifting at the same time…

Ooh, I like that! Thank you!
I love how suggestive this image is. The smoke burning. The bed messed up. Looking like a relaxing morning after a rough night. Nicely done.
Thank you! I’m really pleased with the atmosphere of this one.
