This is freakin_hilarious on the garage floor. He is expressing "Loss" for the picture. There's a shop light on the floor just beyond the left bottom corner of the image, and a couple of overhead lights as well. I shot this from a stepstool.

expressive coil of body counterposed by expressive straight line with varying highlight, further complicated by a curving stain in the floor. It doesn't necessarily say "loss" to me but it does say "photography". 9

Good choice of surface in terms of colour, texture and geometry of the slab edges. Muted and dark colours contribute to the feeling of sadness and despair.

You caught desperation. Works well for this challenge. Like the lighting. 7

This image portrays more emotion of "Lost" than "Loss". Nice dramatic element.
