Eastern Europe

The photo reminds me footage from an old movie. I can feel the plot behind the scene. Gaze, posture, clothes, everything works to reveal the character. I like that the image simultaneously tells a story and shows a mood. Memorable picture, well done!

An example of that the good photo doesn’t need technical tricks, the main thing is to be in the right place at the right time. Among the shortcomings, I feel a ​lack of space at the top and bottom of the frame.

I would like to know the story behind the photo. Who are the characters to each other? What is the meaning of a suitcase in the foreground? What does the name of the photo mean? Without explanation, the photo does not look self-sufficient to me.

Muddled at first glance, the photo has a movement, emotion, the characters; some “sloppiness” in the development of the frame also makes the story lively. I love spontaneity in photography, sometimes accidental and "incorrect" frames work better than carefully constructed ones.

You submitted two photos for the contest with the same plot. The first one has a good composition, the second has a good storyline. If you were able to combine these two in one, the picture could be among the winners.
