So sorry I didn't get back for the bumps - this was going straight to the top for me, too. At least it got the highest score I give on the first round. Expectant, huh? I thought just the opposite - the call was over and so was the relationship. Any way you look at it, it's moving and that's the point, right? Congratulations on the blue.

Melancholy.

My interpretation of this is that the person is hanging up and the call was not a happy one.
I love the moody colours and soft focus of this.

relieved. assuming the phone has just been put down. or maybe utterly dismayed, again assuming the phone has just been put down. or maybe just dizzy/flummoxed at/by the thought of using a dial phone. lovely out of focus.

I wish I could give this something more than a 10...10 isn't enough. This is a story. It's a little sexy, a bit of a mystery mixed with pieces of another time and place...ennui enters my mind also. It's a strange mix but I like it.

Best in show in my opinion. This image speaks of loneliness or despair to me. Brilliantly done.
