I took this picture while I am heading back home after 2 years working in the USA. The clock suggests that 'it is the right time to go': something/someone is waiting me, the keys are for the doors I will lock for the last time, but might also open the doors of the old home, or open up new possibilities in the future, the empty frame suggests what I will miss, the pot and the purple bag suggests the gifts that were given to me, the memories of what I leave...
In terms of composition, I tried to emphasize the emptiness of the room, as if everything had been pack down in the suitcases. I like the warm colors: everything is gold/brown and black, with the touch of purple and green that I hope give depth to the picture, like the reflection of the hat into the frame.
Any comments or critics welcome!

| The bright reflection on the floor and the poster frame(?) is distracting... |

| Good idea but execution seems hasty. Focus is just not crisp enough for a studio shot (for me). Composition is peculiar, it feels odd to me. I understand the empty house concept and last set of bags. Just the sugar/ashes urn and clock on the suitcase are odd as well. |

| I really don't get the set up on this... What is the empty poster frame for? And who puts a clock and a pot on their luggage when they are ready to go? It just doesn't make sense as a scene you would happen upon or to convey the message you are trying to convey. |
