I wasn't sure if you really mean that or you're just being funny, and I think others weren't sure also because you got a "like" and a "funny"I think the artist needs counseling.
Your photography has taken a dark turn, and I am concerned for your well-being.
here I was trying to be funny but I obviously failedI think the artist needs counseling.

lol, you're probably right!
it'll pass....
no, it won't
Oh no! It won't!
don't worry, I'll be fine
here's where I'm thinking "Oh God he's serious!"Please take care of yourself.
and I said that...ok, hm... are you serious with all of this?Please take care of yourself.
Of course!
Ok... here's a long respond to you..
Just because we have known each other for some time here on TPF and because I really didn't have any issues with you, quite the opposite, because I consider you as one of good people here who I liked to see in my threads, I'll say this to you ...
If I was worried about you in any way I would pm.ed you.
If you were friendly towards me and genuinely worried about my well being and thought that I need some counseling you would pm.ed me first and asked me something like "How are you? I've noticed that your photography has been changing lately so I really wonder if you're feeling ok because you're expressing some dark/not really cheerful feelings... blah blah nicely blah blah" - something perfectly ok and kind. I'd respond to you nicely, explaining what's going on and assure you that I'm really ok. I would probably share some personal things with you because I liked you.
Posting that you're worried about my well being and that I need counseling on a public forum and as the only comment on the picture I posted, and further saying "take care of yourself" in such a way isn't something I can take as friendly.
Anyway, what did you expect to hear from me after this?

As a matter of a fact, in a few days I plan to post a portrait of me expressing some non "happy happy joy joy" energy. Does that mean that I need more counseling? Or does that mean that I'm currently exploring different themes and trying to express sadness, sorrow, nostalgia, even something dark, like in this picture? I was always interested in these themes but I wasn't able to achieve them.
I am now and I'm really glad that I'm capable to produce "happy happy joy joy" portraits and "dark" portrait. I think I'm a better photographer because of that. And if you look on my flickr you'll see that I shoot different types of photography. Why this one "concerned about my well being" one would be different?
Here's one portrait I took in May and think I didn't post on TPF
Does that mean I was extremely happy when I took this portrait? I wasn't.
That only means that I wanted to feature her best attribute, her smile and take a nice photograph for her to like herself and to see how beautiful she is because she has low self esteem and she's overweight and bothered by it. My own feelings have nothing to do with this picture. The choices I made as a photographer have everything to do with this picture.
I probably didn't say everything I wanted to say but I said enough.
I don't understand the choice you make posting this here.
