No, I'm speechless too! Wow! This is so reminiscent of another era, and pierces right to the heart! It's so beautiful!

For me, the expressions are good, but the only thing about the expressions that I think just might seem a tiny bit off is that their mouths may be a bit too green. If they were a normal color -- along with the beautiful old timey overlay and "other era" look -- It would be off the chart with the wow factor. It's just about off the chart in wow factor anyway!

totally beautiful process .. i wish the further woman didnt have that 'unusual' expression on her face .. altho it could tell an interesting story !!.
like "OMG .. too much information!!.." ..
i wish she looked kinda sad or pensive .. coz their postures make me think that comfort is being given ..
altho after having looked at the other woman's expression, the closer one, i'm thinking that they were probably just about to, or just had, a big laugh over something incredibly funny .. two extremes eh? .. sad and happy ..
this whole image is absolutely fantastic .. but i'm not that keen on the expressions .. of course that's just my opinion .. and other people will love those 'interesting' faces .. :):)

brilliant shot alicia .. all sorts of things come to mind .. its definitely one of those images that make you wonder ..
i'm imagining its a bowl, like a begging bowl .. with the well dressed ppl standing around not paying attention to the person who's bowl it is, someone apparently less well of than them .. life is like that .. ppl ignore the things that they dont want to see and poverty is one of them ..
of course this scene could be something entirely different .. but there you go ..
it could be a group of ppl at some gathering .. the bowl is empty coz they've eaten everything it contained .. they're now standing around with drinks in their hands discussing the things that interest them ... art, religion, politics, their children, their passions, wotever .. etc etc .. :)
love your process .. the grainy look, and the blurry feel .. :)

I'm intrigued by the "silver action" and shall have to go in search of it. I like the perspective on this - almost in-your-face voyeurism.

The bar is well lighted. I like the colour of the "Thomas Niemann silver action"
