Judy, so this one was yours! Love it. I love pictures that "hint" at things, like the living place in back here - hints often say so much more than the real thing (like in the older movies, where instead of sex they would have stuff on the floor and music and whatever, and everybody KNEW what was going on, and your imagination took over). That was just an example.

Technically the shallow DOF is just right (IMO). Exposure wise, it seems a bit bright in the middle, in the windows/door of the house; the reflected same areas are fine, but the real ones are lost. I think what probably made this not work quite as well as it could have is that the "hint" and the "hinted" do not have an obvious connection. In other words, what does the little stick in front have to do with the dwelling place? It's like two separate things that are not connected in a obvious story way.

So why am I writing a long comment. I don't know. Just bored I guess :)
