I had an inkling it was yours when I saw it :)
It really might be my favorite graphic of the entire challenge. I keep coming back to stare at it. Simply gorgeous.

*sitting here crying*

I love the picture choices and how you have layed them out, overlapping Michael so that he is there, but doesn't take the focus from Brian's agonized silhouette. Fantastic.

The text you have chosen/written is so perfect. Where does it come from? Please tell us when you can! Amazing!

Thank you so much. You give such great feedback.
I'm glad that you like how the pictures are arranged. And Michael is such an integral part of this scene, he had to stay in the picture. I'm happy you like how it turned out.

As for the text: it came from very own brain. ;-) I tell ya, it was like pulling teeth. I hadn't written anything for so long ...

I'm sorry it was so hard to write, darling, cause it was a pure, sad, angsty pleasure to read. Just so incredibly moving!

I love the bright colors on the right, happier times, and the muted colors on the left. Beautiful. The text then adds a whole layer more.

This episode is the essence of "opposites" and how close happy and sad times lay together.
And, after a long, long time of not writing anything, these lines came to me out of nowhere. Glad you think they fit the graphic.

The two of them almost silhouetted on the right side is absolutely stunning, especially with the way the scarf still stands out on Brian's darkened profile. VERY beautiful and poignant, especially when you pair it with the "after" pictures on the left. Absolutely very, very well-done.

And thank you so much for having them all looking into the graphic. I always like something that pulls together that way...it's a minor detail, but I think it makes a graphic so much more complete and polished. Thank you for sharing this.

When I came across that silhouetted picture (I had never seen it before) I just knew that I had to use it.

Thank you. Didn't do it intentionally, but you are right, it draws the eye to the center of the picture and makes for a natural framing.

I know, it's quite sad. Good thing we'll always have the beauty of the prom dance to lessen the pain.

Gorgeous, truly artistic -- and ... *sobs*

Now excuse me while I go take a reassuring peek at 309 or something to remind myself that it'll be ok ...

Beautiful and very powerful! I love the use of colour and depth, the way the eye is drawn back constantly to the central cap. ♥

Thank you very much, especially for saying that it's powerful.
Even though it's very sad I can't take my eyes off the center pic. The emotions are so raw. *sighs*

Oh kari, there are no words to describe how awesome this graphic is. It's just....WOW! This is my favorite of all of the graphics I've seen so far. You should be very proud of this one!

I came back and peeked at it again!

Oh and that prom icon you're using with the little squiggle in the corner, I'm stealing. I really liked that one for one of the challenges at bj_icontest and I don't remember snagging it then. :D

Glad to hear that you like it so much. I remember being frustrated with the cap, but when I turned it b/w it suddenly looked fine.

You can't get much more opposite than in this episode, can you?
