Grainy, yes. I added noise. It needed some texture, some grittiness, I thought.

I like the balance this shot has its story and the duotones. Very well done. I don't think you would have forced anything on the viewer by calling it lost but you really didn't need to as this was my first thought. Made me think of my kids, has that little emotional tug there.

I really enjoyed this shot in the challenge. I like the reflection symmetry going on, but it is most enjoyable since it is slightly off center giving it a more engaging shot. Well done.

What's under his jacket? Or, is he just happy to see her?

Comment by K3Master:
They had searched for him everywhere. When he disappeared the night before, after an argument that resulted in screams and tears and slammed doors, they thought that he'd just gone out to blow off some steam. They'd figured he'd be back once he'd calmed down, and thought things through and needed to be back in safer arms and a warm bed.

However, as the night wore on, and morning approached, and there was still no sign of him, they began to fear. The worry stretched in to anxiety, which then stretched into panic. The authorities were called, and by early evening the next day, the search parties were out. They combed the woods, they called the friends, they searched the stores and theaters and hospitals, but no trace was found.

Then, in the wee hours of that next morning, while darkness still lay over the land, the phone rang. Tearfully, his mother picked it up, and broke into a flood of emotion as she heard his voice.

"Mama, I'm so sorry, I just want to come home."
