"To me this image by ~GVA had alll the criteria met and then some. Emotional, moody, conceptual and fraught with emotion. IMO this is one of the best shots I've seen on dA in a long, long time. Talk about a feeling of being isolated and alone! The title even interjects more emotion into the image. It suggests a feeling of helplessness and giving up. Congratulations man, this is one amazing image". ~ Davenit
How does it make you feel??
I loved this comment by ~dark-x-eyes
"Life: when someone leaves you, turns all the lights off but you're still waiting for something to happen".

What an amazing photograph. The emotion has such a big impact and I can see myself sitting somewhere in one of those dark chairs. The lighting is beautiful and the endless rows of chairs just show how sometimes you can be so alone in thought and feeling.
I would have to say this is one of the best photo's I've seen because it really made me think and i've been staring at it, lost in thought for ages

I really feel what the image express. Many times i just waited to something happens after the end of the movie, like i was the only one there. Like a empty ending.
Congratulations, for the contest.

Thanks Michael! They say it's all about the light, right.
I hope this is a good example that the everyday and ordinary can be transformed with a little imagination. Glad you like it!

An unsettleing feeling is provoked in me(my first thought"david lynch"). I'm gunna have to think about this photo more. which isnt difficult, its easy to remember.
the viewer is almost in a seat aswell.
when i see this, i see a positive thing, i see a person realizing the truth of where they are. to suddenly recognize foolishness is a moment of brilliance, so i see something very wonderful happening. on the otherhand, "show's over"=Its a simple metahpore for death. but that doesnt mean that it represents "death" actually, just a perception of death. or perhaps something other than death that feels like a death, such as lonelyness. or cowardice. or helplessness. or self pity. anyway, i dont usually comment this much, but ill say that this image is really going to help me with some things im working on also. thanks and good luck to you. congradulation, ive never agreed with a DD more.

It feels creepy...the dark mood and solitary figure add a feeling of suspense, or dread.
Awesome!

Thanks dude! Yeah, it kinda reminds me of the Eminem/Dido song 'Stan' - Your Biggest Fan. Creepy indeed!
