I love this. I think you entered another version - not so processed and maybe closer? I'll go look - in a challenge but the processing and tones and distance make this sing for me. And I want to know what happens when they meet :)
I love the post processing on this one .. the composition draws me in as each figure has a different posture and each posture allows me to make up a story about the person .. there is a whole chapter here, not just a paragraph.
