This is a rework of an earlier photo.
When I go out to photograph, I try to keep myself open to any opportunity that arises. However, some times I surprise myself at having captured more than what I consciously thought - I only really see it later while processing the photo. A recent example is this image, shot in the greek island of Hydra, near Athens

At first I thought this lady was simply looking at passers by, as the island is full of tourists walking about; this was a bright, colorful day. But then I noticed the framed photo inside the house, visible just to the left of her head. I immediately imagined that this must be her husband, perhaps already deceased - which would fit quite well with the expression of sadness and distance in her face, and the empty chair on her right... I have no way of telling if this is actually the case, but I feel the image is quite poignant, simbolically illustrating such sad periods in one's life - the loss of a dear one.

None of these considerations went through my mind when I took the picture, there was simply something that attracted me to the scene, and made me photograph it; only later did I see this hidden symbolism in it. Perhaps, at some unconscious level, I did see it, and I assume this is often the case with other images as well.

This is not HDR, just some selective orton effect to give it this painterly feel.
Please take a look at the large size.
