This shadow and the b/w edition make a very strong image, The composition suggests this moments of insecure conscience of limits between reality and dream/unreality.
Well done, I like it very much

@Paco Díaz: Thank you very much Paco! My feeling when this opportunity to shoot happened was indeed the feeling of insecurity...being afraid to venture further into the world for fear of the unknown.

To me, this shadow has a funny look that does not make me feel insecure at all. I like how you turn it to the side... it takes an surrealistic form.

@Vincent Bertrand: Thank you Vincent! I like that people can get different things from this and I guess, like art, it's subjective :)

Sorry, in my previous comment where I said youth I'd like to say childhood (at? of?), well, the kind of fears we experienced when we were a child.

This is truly a dark image in several meanings. Unrealistic and scary... Very cool!

I must tell you, Sharon that I think about your work even when I`m not in front of "my beloved MAC." You see what most of us would pass by without even noticing. And those things matter. They are part of our life and existence which by nature we prefer to ignore to avoid extra complications. I don`t mean complications in a bad way, just something extra that would take us away from our ideal simple and predictable lives. I am guilty of it myself a lot of times. And it`s great to see your images that take me away from the surface and point at what`s underneath.
