what a compsotion. the blackness is at first almost void-like, but on closer inspection it's like a puzzle, in which each viewer has different pieces and can constuct as they see fit. fine work.
Nice compostion. I think this needs more contrast. The thinker's tones are muddy looking.

@Daniel: Thanks. During the post-processing I tried increasing the contrast, but because it was taken in extremely low light and with an ultracompact too much of the noise was highlighted. Also, the whites become "blown out." For the conditions+camera this was the best possible outcome.
fantastic image! i think the greyness of the figure actually adds to the atmosphere here. would make a great book cover. i keep scrolling back up to look at it. well done!
