“He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.”

I didn't see the hand first - very amazing shot, can't really comment but can feel for sure (that's the most important !) - either foggy or ghostly, in dark blacks or soft colors, your world touches me...
You have a nice sunday, Sharon*

la lumière se glisse sur la soie qui vole, des plis sur les couleurs, des mouvances et des ombres, le bleu du jour en écharpes qui flotte, c'est superbe, bravo

I believed that it was a superimposing of two images, but I read that it's reflections on a window ! stunning composition, love these colors and the mood. It's like an abstract picture, quite surrealist !

Impressive. Slight reflections. They are confused with the buildings. A photography that asks to know more envelope she.

I had to stare at this one a few seconds to "figure it out" :-). I think the shadows, reflections and colors work well in this image.

A most memorable and dreamlike production of your 'sin-city' theme. Magnificent! The prose is the cherry on top!

A bit ghost like and dreamy at the same time - wonderful arrangement of colors and light and dark. Love the poetry of Auden...

The text couldn't be more powerful. "I was wrong".
And an even more powerful, lovely and moody reflections to go with it.

@grant: Thanks so much Grant. But seriously, it's just a reflection in a store window along with soft focus and a little contrast.
