I don't know how pertinent this is to the challenge, but I get what you're saying and I find the image solid.

Strong image, definitely. I like how the light also accentuates the wedding band on the hand, which really tells a story of who he might be speaking to. The light coming from the door lends to the expediency of the conversation being had as if "I have to go" is the next thing that's going to come out of his mouth.

Very good shot.

Strange, I have two bird images tied for third place...I'm doing some unusual things for this challenge. This is just wonderful! Well done.

Beautifully captured, contemporary, yet reserved on the post operative side of things, and titled appropriately. I award you my tied-for-third place spot!

My only 10, and while I don't underappreciate "abstracts" typically, I also don't usually find them as interesting as the more creative, yet more "obvious" photographic fare.

This is a big exception to that rule. Perfect.

I'm distracted by the entire left side, but I like the idea.
