Oh hey this is cool. Loads of mystery in this one. I thought for sure that you added that watch on the tv. lol what timing? How on earth did you plan that one? Clever scene. Very smart!
Slaps hand on head! The clock was staring me in the face the whole time and I MISSED that clue while focusing on what I could not see. Time travelers...the mystery lies in the question "Where did they go?" Argh! I am annoyed with myself that I missed that clue you clearly provided.
I am failing to see what I feel you want your audience to see & experience. I see clearly the watch with the time, the table set with food, and the empty shoes off to the far left. But, I can't see what is in the middle center of the image - I feel that an element that is pertinent to the image is there that would give the composition further meaning. It's just too dark - I looked on my monitor on my PC and later on a laptop which is brighter...but I see nothing:-( It's just too dark in that area to make out any solid details. My guess is that some people gathered around the table to eat, received a call, and 'poof', vanished leaving shoes and whatever else I cannot see behind. Or maybe I am just missing the point entirely. On technicals - the conversion to B&W is good with very dynamic tones between light and shadow (with the exception of the problem area that needs more illumination)
