interesting choice in colour. Very busy traders by the looks of it

This has a stillness to it that is so very compelling. I find myself staring and staring, waiting for the puppet to spring to life. Is it after a show, or before... ? The atmosphere you captured here is magnificent. I'm happy for you that you were acknowledged by a Posthumous Blue.

Well, a posthumous blue! How cool is that?? This is that kind of image after all. Not eye candy, but has all the elements to please those who look beyond the surface. Well done.

Comment by posthumous:
I love the world of shadows, where puppets live without masters. I love to see a window latch reaching for freedom.

There are pictures that make you want to live in their world. Then there are pictures that show you the world you've been living in all your life but hadn't seen yet. Those are the ones that get blue ribbons.

Posthumous Blue Ribbon.

I like the tones, but I wish the subject was easier to identify.

If I could figure out what I'm looking at, I would find it easier to score. Nice high-contrast image.

Rather unexpected and daring subject amongst a FS-challenge, I appreciate how a few elements admirably composed are evoking a whole story.
Perfect exposure, emphasizing just what was needed.
Nitpicking though: the crop is a bit tight on left side (I assume it's not actually a crop, but that your lens wasn't wide enough)
