Very nice use of pattern, texture, imagery.
The first word that comes to my mind is "haunting."
Consider toning down the very brightest part of the item in the top left corner, as that brightness is a little distracting. I realize that that's not the brightest part of the image, but it has that impact on me for whatever reason.
Thanks John.
Mike...do you mean the left outer corner edge?
I totally agree..it actually detracts a lot from the bright 'cloudy bit' ( technical term that!! so will damp it down.
Thanks Mike.
Sharon, the first thought that came to my mind when I saw this photo was a childhood lost. I thought of that when I saw the girl's face in what appears to be a magazine. The whole pic again reminds me of some dark place.

Great image. I agree with Mike's comment.

Sharon, you did it again, taking us in our dark places! I agree that the light parts on top are distracting. It could be a square picture, eliminating the top part, and lighten the rest of the picture ever so slightly. Am I influence by Donald B&W square pics?
I like very much the overall effect you have rendered.
