John Ellis says: I wrote: " Certainly a good juxtaposition - what do the young care about the end of the world? The end of the year is aeons away!

John Ellis says: I wrote: "I think that one advantage of not seeing their faces is that there is a greater sense of potential menace. However, her expression can be easily read either way as Chris says, so being left not sure is perhaps not the best end result. That said, the monochrome and anonymous passageway is a good background and the grouping is appropriately dynamic to treat it as a more abstract composition. And girls can be cruel."

John Ellis says: I wrote: "It's interesting - initially I thought that this is an SP trope but I think that its minimalism works through in the end to make it an interesting study in controlling the content of a shot and making blank space work as in a painting. It bears staring at and studying."
