To say this image is dramatic and moody is just pointing out the obvious.
Although the most dominant part of the image is the fireplace, the key element of this image is the woman. She is ?floating? in the darkness, looking over her shoulder. Her expression is wonderful as she gives the impression of having the viewer intrude upon her. The overwhelming darkness really adds to the intrusion idea. Heavy shadows and her body being formless really adds mystery to this image.
However, I think the woman is too far away from the fireplace. The large, dark gap provides too large a psychological barrier to allow a connection between these two elements. I am also uncertain to her placement on the edge of the image. The compositional balance of the image is disrupted by it.
hi, love the way you have the lady only partially visible and she has great expression...also like the toning very much...interesting image!..regards,gayle
