The SomnambulistIn the cold of midnight, the soft advance of soles
Bends and creaks the floorboards
Not one but two and many--
In the kitchen flickers two stovetop flames
Burgeoning from orange to blue, as flowers do
Spreading wide their petals
Illuminating the far-flung fingers of the dark--
The whorl of oxygen, the hiss of sleep-tears on a heated plain;
And before morning eggs and bacon sit on the table
But by the time I've awaken they're cold.

And as I sit there staring at them
I wonder why it is I'm still so invested in my dreams.

I love this shot. Then again, I've always had a weakness for benches =]

The color scheme is very nice - fits well with the subject. It looks like a black/white, but it's hard to tell on this cheap laptop of mine! Either way, the exposure seems dead on!

The composition is on the right track, but it not quite there yet. I saw this because you did follow the "rule of thirds", but I find the crop on the top and the right to be too tight for the subject your are shooting.

The effect and tone is very nice. It's a smooth image that is very bold and professional looking - I don't know if that's what you were going for, but you hit it.

What do you think?

This is exactly how I feel right now. You really took an ordinary object and made it extraordinary, and the title is a perfect tie-in for the atmosphere.
