I like the mystery involved. A little unnerving which is what I should be feeling.

Comment by ThingFish:
Just a little dull and lifeless looking. Also a bit obscurish.

1st: I didn't get the title, 2nd I didn't get the image, together they make more sense, so then I thought 8

That's funny because I thought this was yours!

Comment by ubique:
Stopped me in my tracks. As well as its obvious interest of the face versus the hand, there is a wonderful puzzle in all the shadows. Ultimately it does have a contrived feel, something merely theatrical rather than something authentic, but I like it anyway. 8. Thank you.

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I do like the image but I'm finding it hard to articulate why. There are many effective elements, the hand, the uber-blurry face, the shadows, the subtle lighting behind the figure, the overall scene shrouded in mystery - all very effective.

Critical stuff: You know I like the elements - I'm not so sure it all hangs together though; I like images with a story and although there is plenty of mystery here, There is something not quite working for me - I wonder if it is the lighting on the left, the brightness undermining the potential menace of the right side.

Overall: Intriguing, an at least partially successful image (for me) and certainly one I've been pleased to meet.
