Nice image with the strong textures in the rose and hand. Perhaps having the background a single color (red) would be a stronger image.

Comment by posthumous:
kind of annoyed by the mirror but that is very "posthumous" so I can't really blame you. kind of aggressively "bad" photo in several ways, which is also very "posthumous." Biggest transgression to me is that big swath of road. so much nothing. The title is pretending to be about the distance between the two people, but really it's about that big old desert of a road between you and them, between me and them. The mirror emphasizes that distance. There's a feeling to that, a weight you might say. As Wallace Stevens said, "The [pair] are not seen/as the observer wills."

I'm hanging this in my fantasy gallery

This tells a story. I might have cloned the mirror but I love the characters.
Reminds me of The Band's Visit when they arrived not only at the wrong stop but in the wrong country.
