This was taken in Kilmainham gaol (jail) in Dublin. This was a prison used from 1780s to 1924, and is noted for it's history relating to the Irish 1916 Easter Rising. This is a view through one of the peep holes, looking in to a cell.

Go back and take this again with an anonymous person leaning against the wall and looking toward the window - incarcerated! The hilites are a little blown but regardless, this still works well and I like it
This evokes strong emotions of abandonment or loneliness. Cropping it with the window so high also really brings to mind a cell or some similar room where the gloominess is emphasized by a high wall.
I'm not sure why I like this, but I do. And it meets the challenge (to me) better than most. 9
I came back to this after voting on all the entries. The only thing I could think to improve this is to maybe have it a little more off-center (with the window a little more to the left). Still, this is one of my favorites in this challenge... I'm going to bump it to a 10.
