I was sitting at my desk staring at the following image expanded to full screen on my large monitor when my closest critic walked in ....

"Do you like this image?"  

"No, not really," she answered.

"Oh I really like it."  I replied.  "I can see that" she said as she wandered back out of the room...  I wasn't terribly surprised because I knew she prefers brighter, more airy images.  

About 5 minutes later, she walked back into the room, and asked: "What do you like about the image?"  

I responded with: "I don't know for sure but the dark over-tones along with the empty table and chairs and the one bright pomegranate says something about being alone."  "Hmmmn," she responded.  "I'll give you that!"

What do you think? Does it tell a story?  Do you like it or hate it?  Does it evoke any emotional response?
