And not a key in sight.
I like this but, unless I am missing something, I find the vignetting on top a bit constraining, which now that I think about it would go well with the concept.

Pray for us, that from the straw we are never separated.
Indeed, a very unusual expression :)
Very effective B&W.

Catch me if you can

I like it. My only nitpick would be that the non gradual DOF is a bit disconcerting, which makes the boy stand on the scene without blending with it. Which might be the intention, of course.

truly excellent postprocessing, I love how the light is encapsulated in darkness. And the only escape point for the eye, the bottom reflection, can only suggest to go back to the grass and the trees.
Quite in love with this.

Paulbw, perhaps?
Excellent play of shapes and duotone.

Mariuca, perhaps?
In any case, excellent use of wideangle distortion and of the resulting circularity, high key BW really effective.
Really luminous. The angle of the boy mirrors but not quite, creating an accent.
The gaze is really free to travel and still well conducted from the boy in a circle and back, to the lady, and again. Like a metal ball in one of those conic vases, with a hole in the bottom.
A 9 before I fall through.

So well spotted and framed, and meaningful.

Didn't vote on this one so I saw it only now.
Love the subject and the processing.
The shadow of the little girl makes me think of a girl's face outline in profile, with the strangest hairdo..
Excellent.
