I'm wondering who Keturah is? This doorway seems to open to a place of the past maybe? Might be that I saw the name and tried to think too deeply for a meaning.............anyway, I really like this photo, even if I don't understand it, it still seems to speak to me. 9

I don't get the sense of celebration when I gaze upon this image. Instead I look upon what I see in the photo and I get this sense of prevading sadness. The main subject rests in shadow - we don't see his face nor do we see his expression as her gazes on a single wine glass held in his hand. His head is bowed. The posture of the main subject gives me the idea that he is mourning instead of celebrating or rejoicing. Not only that, he holds in his hand ONE wine glass - the mood of the shot seems to suggest that there should be two. A companion to that glass is missing. Since the main subject is in shadow instead of bathed in light it seems to suggest a time of darkness - a period in which a person has moved into a time that is not so happy. Lastly, the ground plane in the foreground of the shot is all broken and in a state of disrepair - this also suggests to me that the time of this person's life is broken; is in disrepair. It is a good composition and really good shot but all these elements within the photo speak of sadness which is the complete opposite of celebration. Mayhap it might be making the statement of "be happy with what you have"......but I still just cannot get away from the feelings of sadness that this photo seems to project.

This looks more sad to me, I guess because the foreground is so dark and because he is alone.

Anti-celebration? This is a odd picture. The dilapidated from portion. The seemingly well dressed individual with a perfectly and unchipped glass. Just doesn't seem to add up.

Love the lighting and diminished tones. The perspective is quite good. I love doorways as a setting for the human figure. Good job.
