Jennifer- Good day my friend. Awesome and moody picture that reflects moments we all have had in our lifetime. The lighting is perfect and reflects the mood of the picture so perfectly. Black and white also an excellent choice to capture the mood. Composition is outstanding and using that window frame with the curtain is such a beautiful touch. The whole affect you accomplised here puts one in thinking of the times when all we wanted to do is to be alone.
Amazing picture that makes one think.
Outstanding work
Have a wonderful day, you take care of yourself, please be safe. #6329413
