Now that is sad, and poignant.

+1  For me it goes beyond sad into morose and somewhat beyond. A very Powerful picture.

I agree. However, I wonder about the B&W treatment, which seems flat and busy to me. I might try to darken the foliage a lot, the mattress a touch, and lighten the sleeping bag a bit, to provide different tonal levels that draw the eye toward the centre. I'd also try reducing the clarity of the foliage and really working the contrast inherent in the sleeping bag.

Whilst I usually avoid passing remarks on other people's pix, regardless of invitation, I feel compelled to add that it's all too sharp, devoid of atmosphere; clinical. As it is, a good opportunity that can still be saved in PS.

Also, annoyingly, I can't look at it as a complete image (on the iPad) without scrolling, which is a killer for picture integrity. A big one isn't often better than a smaller one. Lots of people seem to disagree, and ruin my viewing of their work by posting too big.

Sorry...

Tap and hold the thumbnail, then select "open in new tab" or some equivalent option. Not ideal, but still better than scrolling

I post bigger than I used to 'cuz it forces browsers (mine anyway) to open the pics in a separate window. Don't like dragging images side to side to see 'em, though the separate window does often mean scrolling up & down. No ideal approach.

Thanks for the feedback, food for thought.
