I knew this was a funeral parlor before I read the comment. You were right on with the lighting to give it that sad/lonely feel. Great job!

I didn't expect to see a funeral parlor in this challenge but then again we often don't expect such things. I like that light coming in through the window and the people in the shadows. There's a story here to be told. Nice work.

Comment by ErinM:
I'm struck by each individual's silent introspection, particularly the woman on the far right. The crop very effectively emphasizes a sense of loss, as if perhaps she is feeling only half present at that moment.

I think I especially like this for it being the day that Arthur C Clarke died; there is something science fiction about it: those glasses on the image right character, perhaps. The strong sense of ceremony, the almost invisible child. Either a sinister or a futurist induction.

Comment by Bud:
The silhouettes and the angle convey the mood of a funeral parlor. Just missing a coffin. But, this image is great for B&W - the distortion is obvious without being overdone and there is a starkness here. Well done.

What a well done emotive photograph! It brings back memories (way too recent) of my mom's last months. You can really see the love in the daughter's eyes. Also, thanks for your processing detail.

Comment by trevytrev:
Very emotive shot. It's a reminder of the ever present switch of roles by parents and children later in life. I like the tone but feel that it seems to soften the mood of the shot and it's emotion, an almost warming effect decreasing the emotive response. I feel that this would benifit from straight b&w conversion, though it still is nice and powerful image with undertones of a wide array of emotions.
