Still I rise

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
~ Maya Angelou

    This is SO beautiful, Cathy! I have seen the same works here - nice to see they are in England as well. No need for a facial expression when the body creates the emotion. She is a beautiful angel, just like you. xo

    Always a wonderful surprise to see you. Have a most wonderful weekend, my dear! ♥♥♥

    What an uplifting image – and a great use of a Willow Tree figure (I’m sure they could use this for marketing purposes!). The lighting and the sky background are just perfect.

    Love the words. Did'nt knew Maya Angelou. Looked at her biography. Learned that she is one of the great voices of contemporary literature and an important figure in the American Civil Rights Movement..
    Her youth was very hard. A very strong woman.

    Perfect composition and capture. You caught all the angles of the 'carvings' within the figurine. Well done. Title is awesome.
