Darkness Is Waiting For Sleep That Will Not Come.

There was a question about whether I used an additional red light to
illuminate the models face. The answer is yes, I used a flashlight
with a red lens cover. The clock did not provide nearly enough light
to see the model.

Many thanks to those who commented, I am glad that photo touched you,
many indicated that they have had nights of insomnia, it's nice to know
that we are not alone in the dark.

Cheers,

To hell with the picture, I gave you a 10 for the title. Art is about free expression with the caveat that one must consider the best interest of their models if photographing people IMHO. In this case I say way to go. The challenge said what does darkness mean to you (the artist).

nice focus. You could have dressed her in shabby clothes and made her look homeless. that would have really driven the point home. The Flash was a bad call, a street light would have looked more convincing. Black and white was great call. I gave you a 6.

I would have liked this more if they looked happier, like they were having more fun.

I am not sure But I believe that is an obsene gesture in England. I saw it on "the young ones" when that show was playing in the states. Still I'll give you an 8.
