I am not surprised that it did well in a contest, Jarmo. Congratulations. There are lots of details to puzzle over. Were the objects photographed as found, or did you do some arranging? I like how the front axle of the bicycle rests just inside the lighted area. Is that a laptop in front of the column?

Thank you Tom, I'm pleased you liked the picture! I didn't make any arrangements, everything was as you can see in the picture. That's not a laptop, it's a pizza box.

It reminds me of the EV compensation button on my Nikon, Jarmo. On one side, over exposed, empty, and the other, dark and full of stuff. Two views of the same place, with a distinct division as though it's a fence or some sort of transformation zone. The effect is quite mesmerizing and haunting. 'another world. Enter at your own risk' the diagonal gives it added strength.
As usual, beautifully done.
Cheers

But it's that bicycle that finally makes the picture work. It's that serendipitous design, (with the front wheel missing, that indicates someone might perhaps come back), that adds the necessary "plugin" to our empathy. Note that the red tubing of the front of the cycle frame will converge with the shadow edge at the top left corner of the photo.
