    Excellent use of available lighting. There’s a tension in this composition that really works.

    It looks as a waiting room when people wait for hours..
    There is kind of silence too, but something “suffocating” too :)

    I don’t know why, but I find something quite sinister in this..like there might be a head in the bag or something muhahaha Hmm..tells you something about the way my mind works I suppose. Love the colour.

    MissKristy, I agree! It’s very suspicious. Just waiting for a skeletal Thing to seize that guy’s ankle and drag him down into the deepest darkest depths… then there’s a burp and the sneaker is spat out. Would serve him right for having his feet on the chair.

    Um. Robert, Robert is that foot attached to anyone you know?

    Thaks everyone – cool comments. And yeah this is precisely what I saw and was going for – the something that makes you go ummm something not quite right here…there’s a clash a ‘tension’ as you say David, and I wanted to make it palpable and almost sureally menacing. It seems to have worked. Love it! .)

    Oh yep, I confess, leg / fot / show attached to someone very close to me… :)

    Robert, don’t you know it’s not polite to put your feet on the chair? :)

    the light is special in this shot and the muted colours work to make a simple subject more than effective.

    Very nice shot. Uncomfortable for sure. Well composed. The bag stands out, as if it is also waiting waiting…
