An uneasy feeling. Trying to find words in my limited vocabulary: somber, macabre, disturbing, loneliness, emptiness, abandonment...?

Well seen, though.

...apt adjectives.

Reminiscent of raytraced result of early 3d computer renderings. Considering Slobodan's adjectives, somebody could use some serious interior architectural overhaul. No selfrespecting photographer should ever have to sit there...

Trust me. No self-respecting anybody sits there. Interesting comment about early CGI ray tracing; I was heavily into CGI (Alias/Silicon Graphics) in the early 90s. It was exciting to build virtual sets, position virtual lights, and have a virtual anti-gravity camera equipped with an excellent cine zoom lens. After five years of it, I got burned out and quit. Repetitive strain pain, debugging code, working in a darkly lit room all day, and a high ratio of difficult clients opened my mind to other options. ... It's remarkable how far the field has advanced in just 25 years.

Is that when you decided that dogs made more cooperative and friendlier clients than people did?   ;)

The dogs came along about ten years after. I enjoyed, really enjoyed, photographing them.

Love it! The perspective draws you in right away. Then the other elements are temporary resting points, accents that make your eyes stop and take in the whole scene.
