This seems more like a print than a photograph. In fact reminds me of a painter whose paintings are like prints/lithographs. The composition and use of light make this surreal. Love the sil.
Would have so loved if this were a scene depicting a card reader and readee, the latter with a death card or somesuch ominous reading.... the light creating the silhouette is too much, something softer or more suffused would create more of a night time feel I think.
Overall good image. Good composition as well as gray tones. I feel like nothing really pops out or makes this super special. However, I like how you can almost tell that the person has this non-chalant expression on their face.
I wonder what this would look like with the person centered in the image. I think a center composition would emphasize the loneliness (and harshness) implied by the b'n'w, game/title, starkness of the room, and the facelessness.
Really gives the feeling of loneliness here. Future possibilities include having the subject sitting near a window might have added some interest to the scene. (Just so you know, I am not judging the elements of the photograph that are not present.)
excellent story, and relatively good tones for a single light source. I love the less-than-perfect hair, and the sweater/shirt with a collar. Her hands seem to be in an uncomfortable position, I rarely see solitaire played with two hands.
on the post side, I can see quite a bit of dodging around the silhouette, it's most noticeable at her hands and elbow region.
