 Started doing something completely different with converging lines, but didn't like how it was progressing. As it started to look more and more like a jail/cage, I changed the set up to go with it. Added the bowl as a focal point and some crumbs to help make the floor look a little less sterile.

Converted from raw?, WB, Crop, lvls, hue (desaturated), slightly sharpened

Thanks for looking.

Wow... this is so simple yet so moody... I really like it. I'm not sure if I like the color cast or whether black and white might work better. Still a well conceived and executed image.

Humm, that bowl seems to show off very round lines... Interesting tilt and the negative effect of the split image, though.

Very nice idea and execution. I like the colour scheme. The picture, however very simple, tells a story at the same time. An emotional story.

This works great. It makes me think of "from ashes to ashes and dust to dust" for some reason.

Excellent mood created here. Either one of confinement as your title implies, or one of contemplation.
