An experiment to be sure. Interested in C&C of all types. Thanks in advance!

I find it poignant and effective.

I like it too. May I suggest muting the background a bit more: less contrast, more blur. Not a lot, just a bit to soften it?

Yes, this shot is touching… this is the last flash before the end but beauty is still there.

I reworked this according to Bob's suggestions. I agree, having let it "sit" for a while.
