    Patti,
    This reminds me of your best of 2010 shot with the crazy lady who ran away from the insane asylum, but comparing this to that, well this one doesn't hold a candle to it. I think maybe if she was not chopped off (I don't know). This one just doesn't work for me, there is no mistery. I just see a lady going to work (that's what comes to mind) and it doesn't make me want to dig deeper, but I do like the light you captured and the processing.

    Nicely exposed. I do find myself continually looking back to the right thinking something should be on that ledge. The bright center draws me to an empty spot and then back to the right sort of skipping the person.

    Is it in a church?

    I like the idea, but I want to see just a little more on the left and just a little less on the right.

    Oh Patti, Patti, Patti! Truly lovely image - but where is her right arm? ne_nau.gif The image would be MUCH stronger if we had all of the woman.

    Laughing.gif I guess you won't buy a story about an amputee then... Points well made and taken. Missed by a mile... well by an arm.

    Nope. Definitely not by a mile. It's still a nice image.

    I agree with all the above, BUT I thought she was facing away from the camera so I thought it was her LEFT arm missing...ne_nau.gif
