I keep going back to this image. The first thought I had was "Alfred Hitchcock" and his famous profile. The layering of profiles from foreground to the last shadow on the wall is so well seen. I know Brent suggested a foot or so over to better get the gentlemen in clear view, but it might have completely changed the relationship with that shadow on the wall. I simply love this, as I do the cello player. Your images of people are very special and quite stunning.

g'day Brent - your description is very apt ;-) - I had little opportunity to shoot for the challenge this past weekend, so when i was going thru my images of saturdays wedding - this one was the only one that half fit the theme. your right about the angle - a foot to the left would have been about perfect. i was drawn to the light on this guy, as at the time he was the only one illuminated in the whole church - kinda sorry i didn't shoot wide on this.

It is hard to tell if they are in a trial or waiting for an elevator. Very interesting - I looked at it for quite a while. A foot to your left would have helped define the elements.
