The lamp is what draws the eye, but I can't help but examine the windows. Looks like there should be a ghost in one of them.
Great shot.

that is a classic!

Thorne said...

Well, I would have to agree with all of the previous comments on technique. I must however add that the image is also very emotionally evocative and inspires a sort of wistful longing in me. Lovely.

Regina said...

Beautiful even in dark.

This great photo, James, echos me to the novel "The Ivory Grin" by Ross MacDonald with his M.O. Lew Archer.

There is the brightness of the lamp in monochrome more. The work has black and white and several levels coming at the same time. It seems to be totally a color photo. I wonder at how you were able to create such a work.

I'm a sucker for old buildings and architectural detail, coupled with B&W - what a great shot!!! Gena @ thinking aloud
