Depending on how you look at it, the person could be walking up into the light or down into the darkness. I don't think you should call it 'Ascension' though, because then you're resolving the ambiguity for the viewer. For me it is more similar to a photo by Bill Brandt ("A snicket in Halifax") than it is to WES. Although, having just now taken another look at the Brandt photo I see that they are hardly alike at all in feeling. http://www.michaelkenna.net/html/books/1976-86/snicket.html But that's what first sprang to mind. The composition also reminds me of a photo by Don McCullin of a miner pushing his bicycle from a slagheap. -- Cheers, Bob
