I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: I really like how this image teases the viewer - it is on the brink of clarity, on the threshold of illumination with a story that only just forms in our mind.
Critical stuff: I do like the grain but the cross-hatch artefacting is distracting.
