The grass sang lullabies to dead

I noticed this when you first put it up and asked for critique, so it's been on my mind for a while. I wanted to do a critique, but I also wanted to wait until I was able to give it the time it deserved.

First of all, this fits in well with the rest of your work. You have a very definite, 'dark' style, and this is a good addition to the theme.

The lace and grass provide a good frame for the central image, and they work well together (despite being different substances) because they are both light on dark. They make me think of Talbot's 'Lace' from 1845, and Atkins' botanical cyanotypes. When I first saw it, I thought that the grass strands were cracks in the ice on a frozen pond.

The touch of red on the bare feet really stands out because the rest of the image is so devoid of colour. The casual placing of the feet makes me think that this represents a body that has not had the usual post-mortem care, and has been left in the grass outside, possibly lying where she fell. We can tell she's not had an easy death because of the appearance of her feet and legs.

Finally, your title makes me think that if the grass is singing lullabies to the dead, then it's because no one else is there to do it. This is a person who has been forgotten, someone whose death has gone unmourned. The fact that you've used the word 'lullabies' relates to to the tradition of describing the dead as 'asleep'
