Very nice, #1 and #2 are superb captures

How about trying to add a bit more contrast, shopuld give them even more impact.
Cheers

Fantastic! Very creative!

Together, what a story!

The first two are, as McBrian says, the better images; in the context of them, the third works, but perhaps on its own isn't as distinct. (Having them embrace, as you have done, is obviously more passionate, but having them holding hands but slightly apart, would allow the 'his' 'her' distinctiveness be more apparent - IF there's room in the doorway.

And, is it possible to darken the shadows without loosing all the lovely detail in the tiles?

Would love to hear how your inspiration for this series came about!

1 & 2 Are superb, but methinks number 3 is a bit of digital trickery combining the others.

Am I right?

Hmm! The plot of this already-interesting story thickens!

Thank you everyone.

It was an underground passage under a larger street. The light was falling this way at about 18:30 and I saw this another day I went to the nearby postal office to pick up a package.

No, they are, let's say, original images

I made the shots but only at home, looking over them I saw the story, so it wasn't premeditated.

Thanks again.

Why not combine them into a triptych? Put all three pictures into a single frame collage. It would read as more of a story that way.

Excellent work.

I love them, very very atmospheric, somehow no3 does not do it for me, methinks, concluding the story is too much information?
