"It was really weird using my 14 year old for a stand-in wife for my husband! "
. . . and you creating the scene and shooting it.

You're right. Freud, among others, would have found it VERY interesting.

Great photo, I gave it a 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.

What a fantastic image! Technically brilliant and really emotive. My ONLY suggestion would have been to wear a shirt without the graphic as it distracted me a bit. 9 from me. It would ribbon if I were the only judge!

Very well presented - a truly uncomfortable subject and title - for a partner to lose a partner is most devastating. Well done.

I like the concept.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

very spooky. my only complaints would be maybe a bit more contrast (but maybe not), and I would like to see a dressier shirt on the guy.

Very strong and emotive image & tecnically very well done.
