First off I love the simplicity of this photo. Your placement and lighting is excellent. I also love the contrast of the bear and his surroundings. It really brings out the bear and automatically brings your focus in. There are many messages coming from this piece that can be interpreted in so many ways. At first I sense loneliness and that something is wrong. There's a subtle feeling of panic here. I ask myself where is the child and why would they leave their bear behind. But that's just me. My only real critique is to be careful with washing out the bears fur. Over all it's a lovely photo with great color and concept. ^>^

Whoa, my first critique! Thank you so much!
I'd have never thought that someone would really give the trouble and write a critique.
Thanks so much for writing down your thoughts and feelings.
That's what I wished to create.
I was "inspired" by a real child living here, who isn't very happy. :-/

And you're also right with the bear's furr.

I can imagine a young child dangling their legs through the wooden bars, holding their teddy close whilst listening to their parents arguing. This is great just one of many interpretations you could get from this piece

Thank you for your comment. I also had this vision in mind when I took this photo. There even lived a girl in this house which seemed very unhappy.
The family moved a year ago, I hope the child is okay.

I'm glad you like it.
And I'm curious of what you can read in it. Maybe send me a message?

This was one of the pictures where meanings and feelings were crawling in while I took and edited it.

Ya, I know the feeling.

And I felt (I changed my mind about the world knowing, hehe)

The dusty bear in the decrepit hallway, the air filtering through air, its just a scene where so much can happen.

Wonderful :]
