stunning. worthy comments too. use of space. but truly ubi's comment about the leaning figure and, I must add, her angled shadow, speaks to my first impression: it is the doorway pulling us in so that we can see.

Such an awesome catch! It makes me want to take a screen capture of this and digitally add it to the wall in the museum. :)

Congrats on the blue!!

Peering every which way, the concatenation along the x chromosome, the coming to fruition of the train finally at the depot.

One "well what do you know?" and another apparent total disinterest. What a dichotomy. I am drawn to the four "figures" of woman here . . .

I'm always a little biased against photos of art exhibits, museums, etc. but this is very much about the interaction of viewers with art. Well played.

Beautiful little drama. I marvel at how the angled figure animates everything, and commands all the attention at first. But then one begins to wonder about the motives of the other three. Are they surrounding her with malice? Is the angled lady investigating a crime? Is she about to become the victim of a crime herself? There's very few forensic clues on offer here. Not a stray fibre nor a carelessly discarded French cigarette butt in sight anywhere. But the perpetrator is someone in that room. It always is..

I feel better now. Thank you. 9.

What an intriguing pair of postures slyly mirrored in the images, metaphysically speaking.

My favorite for this challenge. Or any challenge. The bends and the puddles.
