Life and death

Symbols.

  Doing some archive reviewing for an upcoming website. Also preparing a exhibition in a "tablao" or flamenco typical place in Madrid at the begining of 2018. Have never done that and will probably need some help...

It's an interesting shot.  Perhaps it could be given a brighter, more contrasty treatment.

Your image reminds me of the movie Rosemary's Baby.

So I let it run wild.

Thank you Keith. I actually tried a brighter version but couldn´t find a good balance. Feel free to try.

  Ethan, thanks for your gritty version. The light/shadow in the back kind of becomes a dark sky with clouds and adds depth on top of everything else. Now that you mention it, it does have a "Rosemary´s Baby" flavor to it. I take as a big compliment!

I like the flat colours of the first and b/w is a viable option as well.

Considering the concept for the title, the original color version works for me.

Is the title "Life and death" meant to be for the whole exhibition or for this particular image?
