The dark clouds above look like a storm is forming. Here the absence of color sets the tone instead of needing color to make the photograph what it is.

If you look close, there is a white piece of something that looks like paper or some junk. Not sure what it is and I never paid attention to it during the filming.
If I were to give this image a title, I would call it: SILENCE
