This is nice. Really had too stop and take longer a look to figure what I was looking at. The POV creates a pattern that is intimate. Everything is very crisp, even in the reflection. The lighting is pleasant, but also has edginess with some harsher lighting. Nice done on the processing. One of my favorites so far.

This is a new comment series for me, so please bear with me while I find my style!

(Voted earlier)

This is one of my 9s - I like it a lot. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:

1. I really enjoy the relationship story here - i makes me want to watch them for a while.

2. The composition is witty and effective - particularly in how the carpeted steps merges into her top. I also like how we, as viewers, get pulled into the scene - you've included enough physical context for our brains to be easily located within in the scene - we know exactly where we are in the room.

3. Excellent monochrome treatment.

Overall, a compelling candid image.

If art is about emotionally affecting its consumers, then this is art.

Yes. Makes you wonder how any of us ever feel lonely.

Spine chilling. With so many kidnappings or abductions this is so topical.
Almost Jagar-esque but less community orientated than his work. More Hitchcock-ian if such a word exists :P
