Hi Stephane... beautiful and quite powerful. You're really not a surface dweller when it comes to content and for that I applaude you. Like the way the hair blends in to the negative space as if to free the thoughts. I really like this. Congratulations, my friend.

Very dramatic image, Stephane. Such a striking composition and toning, I think "emotive" as mentioned below is an apt description. Beautiful work.

This one gives me a bit of the shivers and a feeling of sadness, from not knowing how to interpret the title. I really like the minimalistic approach though and the framing suggests, that in darkness, whatever's around us is unknown.

Stephane, this unusual close-crop and minimal composition are really effective. The feeling seems like one of deep sleep or loss, especially with the black background. Closed-eyed and motionless, the son seems to be "leaving" the picture. Again... creative, emotive, and well-executed, Stephane.

Beautiful composition! I hope you didn't really have a son that died.
