There is a certain tension that makes this captivating. The story is not clear, so our mind tries to resolve it. "F" is the main protagonist, with perplexity in his eyes, and the soon to be lit cigarette. The moment is withheld, suspended.
"M" is also part of the story but his role is not clear. It would be so much different if he would be looking at "F".

Good composition and story. Photograph is technically perfect, imo.

Cool image, it is like a tense still from a movie, good Black and White tones too from a colour neg, sometimes I have some problems here when I have done this, good work

Thanks Philip, yes I had luck with the tones, this was the first time I tried enlarging a colour neg and I was afraid contrast would be a problem (it was in fact slightly lower than what I get with BW negs) but in the end I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

Hi Matej, Christian has put it very eloquently already. I agree; the atmosphere without "M" (you, by any chance?) is essential to the expression and atmosphere. It's a vital coexistence without apparent interaction, to phrase it differently. No explanation needed, the story tells / sells itself, the specifics up to the viewer to decide.
Cheers,
Hugo

Professional work. In fact, I have seen professional work that was not this good.
I could write an entire short story from this one photograph.
Your eye is superb.

So good. It looks like a scene from a movie. It looks planned out. Awesome work.

Vey nice to find your work. Must keep a closer eye on it as I've been forced by theft to move away from the abstraction of digitals and find your work has nice compositional ideas. This is, as the previous critiques said, well timed.

More than a father and son shot, it makes feel as if the boy were the thoughts of this aged man remembering his own youth, the resemblance between the two is outstanding.

Good comments on this one. It does look staged, but I am assuming it is not. Interesting.

It's not staged. If it were, the wall lamp growing out of my friend's head would be inexcusable. Now it's just vaguely annoying ;-)

I am sure you just edited that in to create the illusion that this wasn't posed :-)
