    Been liking a lot of what you've posted. This one, though, not really doing it for me. Too much OOF, can't tell much of what is going on. Sorry.

    i like it, i think its fun to experiment with different stuff.
    i had a long "thing" with inverted shots / negatives, now my new liking
    is just what you have here, oof's...

    i think this one works because you included the person,
    shots with only lights can turn a bit uninteresting unless theres some
    pattern or colors that can grab a hold of you.
    keep experimenting, im sure theres a lot of gold to excavate in the world of oof's =)

    I kinda gathered that. What I couldn't tell, was:
    1) Man or woman
    2) drinking, smoking, neither?

    In the grand scheme, I guess neither of those matter, if there is an emotion of aloneness conveyed, which I think you did capture, so well done on that account.

    Personally, I'd like a little more definition for the woman. But I think this may work a bit better...no?

    Reminds me of a camera I use to have.
    I became fond of this type images.
    Been wanting to do this with focus stacking.

    Makes me want to visit, if only because one country still lets you smoke in bars :)

    D.C. has a smoking ban, but if the restaurant/bar has a section that is "outside" (open walls) you can smoke.
