A face in the shadow, back in the light, the colour red on the sides, the darkness on the centre... it's a very mysterious, intense image. Like AL, not sure whether red is good or bad. Powerful.

Intriguing image.

Dramatic in red. Nice shot Kal

Very nice composition and deep, blood red to heighten the mood and mystery. Nice.

I am the devil in your furnace.The unextinguishable undeniable burning.I know you are there.Watching my flame, getting singed and yet fascinated by my power.

There is a stillness, a contemplation... bathed in scarlet... very powerful

I can't quite see the face (well not on this monitor) and I like that, fabulous light and colour

Wonderful mood and light, great capture.

China Red. Under the shadow of its politics, its economics, its culture, etc. Affecting his action, thought and emotion. But it's a rather unusual mood you caught here. I would expect a man sitting relaxing under the color of blue maybe. Red is good and bad. Could mean prosperity and luck, or perhaps hot and sensual. To the contrary, it could mean trouble, tragedy or loss and debt. Not sure how to piece everything together. Or am I taking it too seriously (again)? That's your power, Kal.
