Ya, that title is a tough one. But more importantly, the shadows are placed just wrong. I like them as part of the composition, but they fall across the man's torso and head in just the right way that it isn't obvious there is a person under there. The confusion to the eye makes for a less appealing picture. If this was posed, I would have reposed, if it wasn't, well, then you are screwed.

Nice composition otherwise. Nice focus, nice B&W conversion.

this picture shows a great understanding of line and shape and composition. it makes no literal sense that someone would take that position, and as a result we see it in a symbolic, metaphorical sense. the shadows become weapons. 9.

I like the idea but a bit more clarity or light on the actual subject would help.

nice colors and shadows. I dont really get any feeling from this. it's hard for me to understand why someone would be in that position unless it fell on them. its not like they'd use it for cover against the wind or rain. nice photo though. so 7

Is it a person? NOt sure i get the message but it does have a pretty desolate feel to it.

IMHO a bit too much forground...but I seem to be saying that a lot...so maybe it is just me. I wish the shadows were on the subjects back and that we could see the face a bit better. 8

The shadows hide the main subject of the image, detracting from the impact the image might have had.

The shadows are a good idea and the interior too. The subject is not distinguishable. I wonder whether a person's shadow looking in the window would have completed the desolate story?
