I get this sense of truly being alone in this picture, pondering over what happened during the day. It's eerie and peaceful to me.

I think this photograph is stunning. I get a real sense of emotion from this. To me it feels as if he's just driving in order to feel nothing, if only for a few hours. He doesn't know where he's going, just wishes he could get there.
I feel the song "Cologne" by 'Ben Folds' Goes very well with this photograph.
Excellent work xx

The tight field of depths adds alot to the image heightening the tension between the hand and the face in the mirror. The eyes looking out into the unclear adds a great deal to it as well. Making you stay that bit longer "staring" as Hockney would say at it. Nice work.

Late night driving,
wondering where to go
take a few turns,
losing direction
lost in the city
lost in the thoughts
the night is so long
too long
it captures the emotion of driving alone at late night, wanting to be lost.

My opinion is that the hand is very important here, it's what makes the difference!

I really dig how the shallow focus makes the city lights through the window an abstract wash of tones and circles. It's a very cinematic photograph.

Well, I really like it. There's something special about the moment and the atmosphere I can't describe.

he looks zoned out. and the blur on everything but his glazed eyes just enhances that.

just let me say, amazing dof. this shot's not that original, but it's execution makes it something special.
kinda gives me a sad, lonely feeling. like he's been driving for hours and hasn't found what he's looking for... or more like what he's looking for is gone. i have no idea if that's what it's supposed to mean, but that's what i think now...

well, I could write a long imaginary story about this photo... but I think it would be very uninteresting
hm... I really like it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nah... write the story!! i love interpretations
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok then...
it seems like many thoughts are running through his head...
I would say his wife left him. he doesn't look 'ok'.
and he doesn't know what to do...
so he's just driving his expensive car - music is very loud - and trying to escape.
this photo reminds me of my favourite book "the world according to garp". dunno why.
so here's my amazing interpretation

see.. good job. close to the truth. his car is not expensive, though

More glittering lights would have been even better but it's a nice atmosphere here

I love this shot. Did you focus on the mirror?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
to be honest, i used auto focus and focused on his face thru the mirror
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I thought you were focused on the mirror. I would haev used auto focus too.

"from people who are not attached to it" i have that problem a lot.
it's the human touch. if those eyes weren't there that photo would never exist. and it has that "lost highway" mood. and i love mirrors.
*steals 1.4 lens while *claytes is distracted reading my amazing comment*

hmm.. you brought the lens back already! thanks.

i like it a lot. because his eyes are caught in the mirror i get a good sense of your subject, and the hands add character too. the shallow dof works, seems to limit our attention and lends a solitary mood.
