Alright guys (and gals). This does have a name, and I'll explain it later;
I was trying to evoke a particular emotion and feeling with this. Was I successful? What do you see? (literally and does it strike a chord with you?)

and some closeups...

I'm going to go with apprehension. the person looks like they are sitting crosslegged on the floor with a backpack next to them, then there's the dark, towering, imposing structure looming overhead and practically bleeding. but then there's the foot at an angle that implies sleep, so it seems like they might be worrying in bed about something that's coming up, possibly school in this case. Or maybe I'm just about to take my finals so I'm seeing school everywhere Razz
