...and I'm striving to unravel the meaning of this picture;) I think the clue may lie in the upper right hand person, but the shadows are so deep and the message is lost :(
Clearly, the girl in the lower left is the focus of this shot. Almost out of the frame, she's not exactly looking through the camera, but rather looking past it, at us. She's the one I identify with. To me, the other figures in the frame seem to be centered around her, like (if I'm not going too far out on a limb) they could be elements of her psyche. The figure with the beverage reminds me of death, waiting patiently for her in the distance, and I suppose that the man in the knit hat could be life, casually sitting close to her. And the three sleeping(?) figures in the background are just plain mysterious. I don't know what they are. Maybe she doesn't either. But they are significant...
The whole thing strikes me as rather dreamlike.
You have chosen the perfect spot from which to frame your photograph - really maximises the architecture. The title matches the photo well, but I do feel it is a great shame the figures in the lower left are present, as in my view they actually detract from what would otherwise be a very strong photograph.
The photog kinda takes away from the slick curves. I almost never mention distractions or crap like that but she's a stark figure that doesn't help the shot. Good Luck.
