This is a exceptional entry in the If You Were An Artist... contest worthy of 10 stars. It is a mastery of free verse and visual art combined.

A few suggestions. Remove the word with in the line below

(with) capturing the essence of people

as silhouette or portrait detail:

replace followed by with 'rediscovered in'

their weathering doubts and hopeful dreams

as brilliant light followed by (rediscovered in) a dark room,

All the best in the contest,

Eugene

This is fabulous, mystery poet. A wonderful piece of art in itself that has captured my vote. The abstract art compliments the lovely presentation. Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming vote,

Yes, taking a picture or painting a portrait could and has been seen as the artist taking a snap shot or a moment in time, and then freezing it forever.

This a well written free verse. It has good detail usage of descriptive words.

Good luck in the contest.

Wow, if only to see through an artist's eyes or be able to put my thoughts on paper with such vivid brilliance that goosebumps raise in a tingling sensation. A talented writer of poetry and prose praised your work and gave me your name as someone to read. Then, after seeing your profile picture, I remembered reading and enjoying a post or two in the last couple weeks. Thanks for sharing. I wish I had a six.

    An excellent writer who I read regularly, Erika Seshadri, is a big fan of your writing. I normally don't share names for any reason, but I'm sure she won't care. Have a great week!

This is a spectacular write about what can be done with a camera and how a photo can be more than a two-dimensional image, that can capture the photographed, the photographer and the viewer. This has the feel of a winner.
