What a great image! I think this is a classic case of non-visible context. You know what was going on, but it is not clear in the image, but you want it to be. I think the title hurts this. I too thought of a suicide attempt. Perhaps "Quiet Reflections", "Remembering", or something along that line would work better.

I love the lines in this image. The background couple adds perspective as to distance / size - plus you couldn't crop them out without losing the wonderful dark spot about 1/2 way down.

The placement of the seated woman provides a feeling of distance from the viewer - rather than drawing the viewer in to share the scene, it almost pushes them away.

To me, one of the best things about this image is that it is difficult to use words to critique it - which, for me, is a strong indication that its appeal is almost entirely on the emotional level.

Congrats on your Sherpet award. This really is a nostalgic image. My hat boxes have been unopened on the top shelf for years. And the clock nuance is brilliant.
