And end up projecting myself into the image.
Which has a quiet grace I could only aspire to embody. 
Powerfully disturbing and intriguing.

However you produced the finished image, it's a spectacularly spooky abstract! The human propensity for anthropomorphizing is what's unsettling here. If we didn't have this propensity, then we could settle down and admire the colors in the light versus those in the shadow, plus the composition, shape and forms.

The sad part is the apparent masked face that so many of us hide behind rather than allowing who we are to show through. I see a woman in this picture and would just like to be able to reach out and touch her to make sure she is OK. Wonderful shot.
