    Love the little details and composition. thumb.gif The red version really does it for me. Makes it feel like its in some seedy motel with the neon lighting from a vacancy sign flooding in. It adds to the desperation for me.

    I like it. As far as the colors the first too are just too saturated. I think it should be in color but maybe a bit more subtle.

    Yup. What he said. I like the color, just not so much.

    That is exactly what we were going for (Seedy Hotel) And unfortunately toning it down just doesn't give it the same feel. So this is the one I entered I appreciate the input.

    Hey Joe...Nice work...Like 1 and 3

    The red signifies to me blood, turmoil, the volatile and turbulent thoughts in her head. The red that has fallen on the crucifix is somewhat a religious interpretation to me "Blood of Christ", how he died for our sins, and what she has done or is doing is a sin, once again although in "symbolism" he dies again for her.

    The b/w signifies the abyss that she has fallen in to, due to her darkened thoughts, she is lost, lonely, she knows no other way to pull herself out an up, again another interpretation of the "crucifix" because of the highlighting it proves that even in your darkest hours you are not alone.

    Yeah, I know I'm whacked Laughing.gif but that is what I saw.

    Nice job interpretation on both compositions!!
    You're only as good as your next photo....
    One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."

    I like all three. Each suggests a different tone. The red suggests seedy depravity. The blue suggest somber despair. The black and white suggests gritty finality. All depends what you want to portray!

    My only complaint is the title. Sentimental titles turn me off. On the other hand, I'm not a judge, so take that for what it's worth.

    All in all, a clever and well-executed narrative composition. Good on ya.
