Beautiful image. I like the contrasting light and dark areas on the deck. That cloud detail is really nice too.

The other day Anaïs Nin, today Henry Miller... very good company.
The citation is great as is the picture. The figure in black is very important in the composition, for me the most. The b/w treatment is also splendid.

Masterful composition that is as mysterious as it is bold. This IS film noir.

Composition always such a "réflexion", to remain or leave. To lose its heart while "remaining", or to cross the labyrinth and to leave. An alternative perhaps, the interior voyages, in any case for me, all yours photographs are always departures ;)

I love the quote. I hear it often, but every time it sounds very fresh and full of new meaning. Text works with the image very well.

As always, you make the ordinary most extraordinary. How many times have I seen this on the ferry... and never been able to achieve this magic.

Fantastic contrasting tones and composition. I like the distance between the figures and how it all melds with your quote. Well seen.
