"To me this image by ~GVA had alll the criteria met and then some. Emotional, moody, conceptual and fraught with emotion. IMO this is one of the best shots I've seen on dA in a long, long time. Talk about a feeling of being isolated and alone! The title even interjects more emotion into the image. It suggests a feeling of helplessness and giving up. Congratulations man, this is one amazing image". ~ Davenit



How does it make you feel??



I loved this comment by ~dark-x-eyes


"Life: when someone leaves you, turns all the lights off but you're still waiting for something to happen".

Thanks for the comment Heidi!

I kinda like the face hidden in this one - it leaves him anonymous - he could be anyone I guess.

Thanks! Yeah, I think it borders on creepy as well as lonely. In fact it was almost titled 'Voyeur' at one stage - until I decided it was a little too threatening.

It's as if you've just seen something amazing in a theatre, and everyone else is leaving, but you just want to stay a little longer.
Or, if not taking it literally, life: when someone leaves you, turns all the lights off but you're still waiting for something to happen.
This is an unusual piece, well done!
