A great piece that could launch many interpretations once you're on board.

This image lifts the not so interesting ordinary to the very interesting ordinary. The woman is engaged and candid, the car has unfolded into unusually shaped and arrayed planes, the scene is modestly tilted and the sky is unsettled and grainy. The sense of instantaneous imbalance is captivating and worth a prolonged look. Photographer as alchemist.

So many possibilities to this story. Mysterious thought it appears, is on her face.

Comment by posthumous:
There is of course a barrier between the viewer and whatever it is that the viewer sees in the photo.

You could call that barrier a door.

You could call that barrier two doors. She threatens to close the first door. The second door... why, that's near enough for us to grab it, to prevent her from closing it, or to close it ourselves, or to pull it open further.

It took me some effort to write this out, but I am merely describing the very first thing I felt when I saw the image... the physics of two doors belonging to the same body. and every part of this image contributes to that effect. I know you're not Michelangelo laboring over every square inch of your canvas, you're just a lucky so-and-so who knows which photos are lucky... but really you and Michelangelo are the same, the gods of imagery are smiling upon you.
