Description
Here's a picture I did for a friend's poetry book. I enjoyed it because it was a chance to have my own vision for a picture for once. It is meant to capture feelings of depression and suicide.Related content

I agree with both of them; great lighting. The contrast obviously worked out great.
As for the feeling of depression you tried to capture here, I got mixed feelings over it. On the one side the dark room and harsh shadows indeed give off the feeling of depression. Also because you've left it black and white. On the other side the light and the open window appear to be rather hopeful. The whole concept might've worked a bit better with a closed window, as it might've captured the feeling of entrapment better. But that's just my 5 cents.
Anyhow. Great work

I definitely appreciate the input. I would like to mention that this was a commission though and my instructions were to have the window open, which is to imply that she's thinking about jumping out of it.
Thank you!

Very different from your usual stuff. Like Qeius said, it's some great lighting.
But I think the ray of light running into the dark room gives off a feeling of hope rather than one of suicidal depression. Maybe that was your intention though...
