Yes. For me it's relevant.. and very good

flipthom said 296 days ago:

This seems to be more about loneliness or despair than absence but I can see how it would be somewhat relevant. It's very dramatic.

Ana said 296 days ago:

being alone?

JIMJIM said 296 days ago:

The back lighting really makes the image..
Love the light between the two arms !

ArneG said 296 days ago:

Now - what is she missing. Great dramatic light

pete said 296 days ago:

very moving image.. love it..

mtmartini said 296 days ago:

To me this image says many things, loneliness, sadness, isolation, fear, hide and seek but it does not say absence. Nicely lit and set up though.

An absent love? Absent furniture? ;)

Either way, I really like this. The harsh backlighting works really well to throw the subject into shadow, reflecting the apparent mood.

@Arne: she? I know I have long hairs, but still... :)

Thanks all, it's a really good surprise to find this featured in the morning! And for the record, it's about the absence of a certain girl...

pete said 295 days ago:

i would have said it was a girl as well, sorry nattfodd :P for me it was the tiny feet!!

well done on the feature :) and i hope the girl came back/ you found a better one!

nattfodd said 295 days ago:

@pete: my shoe size is 43 (european scale), which isn't exactly tiny either :)

And I just miss the girl because I'm far away, but everything should be fine again in a couple weeks. And I wouldn't be able to find a better one, anyway, because that doesn't exist!
Thanks for your concern, though :)
