Stepping away from the context of its capture, the scene has a number of elements that work together to provide tensions and dynamism. The geometry is striking, with the lines and light drawing one's eye to the empty chair and its neighboring picture just as strongly to the figure on the other chair with its picture. Questions arise: is the person meditating? sad? A context arises from her posture with the photos vs the empty chair with the other picture. The space and the dynamic tension broods of isolation and loss, something of the starkness of the setting makes the richness of what's in the pictures more real, and perhaps more desireable. Technically, I think some of the shadows go just a little darker than I'd like but it's very close to perfect, at least on my screen. The blue patterned web page surround with yellow watermark, orangey and blue and red and green text information/links is distracting. Overall three star rating for the photo, a minus on the presentation. LOL ... I'm getting into the mood as I've been told I'm going to be a judge on the Minox Historical Society photo contest again this year. ;-) Great stuff!
