Payn, thanks for the comments. I enjoy taking these types of images because each person can immediately superimpose their own unique analogies and experiences. Specific enough that there is a focal point, but vague enough that the scene says something different to different people.

DRG, interesting about the background - I hadn't thought about it like that. I suppose that there are angles to imply a vast background without actually showing it. Actually, when I was shooting these and looking at the backgound, I kept thinging about that Saturday Night Live skit with Christopher Walken (sp?) in which he keeps telling the band "more cowbells, I want more cowbells!" I know that this means absolutely nothing for those who haven't seen that episode.
