An entry for this week’s lens artists challenge #304: Behind. The challenge is about backgrounds, and so is this picture – in a less literal sense, too.

Perfection, Tobias. Lovely composition, but it’s the story that makes this photo.
Thank you, Sofia. Glad you see it that way because while this girl might not look realistic in this particular situation she feels right to me.
Tobias, your creations are out of this world. Another gem!
Thank you, Egídio!
Your scenarios are always wonderful Tobias but this is one of my favorites!
Thanks, Tina; I am glad it is!
Excellent.
Thanks, John!
The the play of light and contrast is wonderful, and the story can be detected from the background. Lovely. Thanks for joining.
Thanks, Ritva. I worked with nothing but my desk lamp (skylight) and a pocket mirror (behind the door) for consistent white balance – and then decided to shoot in black and white…
I love the mood of your black-and-white image. The shadows behind the glass in the door add to the mystery. Beautiful composition!
Thank you so much, John. I was quite happy once I’d figured out this composition.
