Compelling photo, definitely makes one look twice. The duotone treatment doesn't seem gratuitous (as it so often does to me). Are they sisters, or is the background a photo? Or maybe they don't really look alike and that's all in my head! High vote from me, good luck --

vision blocked by apparition. we go to the window to see the world and we see only ourselves looking back at us.

Notice the apparition is more emotional, more alive, than the supposedly real person. a very inspiring piece. thank you.
