This seems more like a print than a photograph. In fact reminds me of a painter whose paintings are like prints/lithographs. The composition and use of light make this surreal. Love the sil.

Has a title ever been more precise? :-) Bumping from 7 to 9...

Nice use of the empty chairs to emphasize the feeling of "alone".

Would have so loved if this were a scene depicting a card reader and readee, the latter with a death card or somesuch ominous reading.... the light creating the silhouette is too much, something softer or more suffused would create more of a night time feel I think.

Overall good image. Good composition as well as gray tones. I feel like nothing really pops out or makes this super special. However, I like how you can almost tell that the person has this non-chalant expression on their face.

Seems a bit too studied and some annoying halos but still a 6 for a good idea.

I wonder what this would look like with the person centered in the image. I think a center composition would emphasize the loneliness (and harshness) implied by the b'n'w, game/title, starkness of the room, and the facelessness.

Nice stark contrast.

Really gives the feeling of loneliness here. Future possibilities include having the subject sitting near a window might have added some interest to the scene. (Just so you know, I am not judging the elements of the photograph that are not present.)

stark, lonely, well executed.

A great silhouette of life, more people than we think lead solitary lives even if they are busy, one of the more meaningful shots in this challenge.

excellent story, and relatively good tones for a single light source. I love the less-than-perfect hair, and the sweater/shirt with a collar. Her hands seem to be in an uncomfortable position, I rarely see solitaire played with two hands.

on the post side, I can see quite a bit of dodging around the silhouette, it's most noticeable at her hands and elbow region.

Great atmosphere, although the cropped chair and place mat on the left are distracting. Might have been better as a square crop.
