I wonder if it would look even more surreal if you raised the contrast slightly and set the black point a bit lighter? I think that could make it pop a bit more without looking oversharpened.
It is a good capture, but in my opinion, it could stand a little bit more separation from the background without losing the qualities it has.
My intention is to create an atmosphere of disorder and chaos, and that the shopping cart is the protagonist as a cursed object, but giving the sensation that there are more strange things back.
Cognitively, my intention is to create confusion and create a horror movie or supernatural object effect.
To create the strange delirious atmosphere there were in my mind two ways to do it with very low lighting, darkness and fog effect.
Or creating a totally anomalous and disconcerting lighting like a nightmare, clear and bright like the bright white and padded walls of an asylum.
I decided for the second. The idea of ​​madness gave it a stronger aura.
My idea was then to saturate the senses with a lot of definition and bright.
Obviously, if it were a normal photo, the lighting is totally inadequate and the back objects bother and distress, if you have noticed I have done that part well.
It hasn't gone through editing programs yet, it's just how I took the photo, I wanted a lot of people to tell me about the potential of the photo and more ideas to take it to another level.
I really appreciate your ideas, and advices, Peter.
I used this old Nikon Nikkor 135 mm 1: 2.8

Note : Everybody is welcome to give me an opinion and critic the photo.
Brainstorm of ideas are the best to improve results, not a lot of places with professionals to chat like this forum, so I would be glad of any help.
Thanks !

Interesting photo. All the cart needs now is a woman in high heals to push it. Yeah, I know, weird.

Too powerful, add one icon like woman in high heals, she for sure steals the protagonism to the shopping cart.
Ron, by the way, what kind of woman you are thinking about?
I am just curious.
I can’t think of a way to get a woman in heels to work together with the cart. What I can visualize, though, is a youngish woman in ballet flats, one of the iconic Laura Ashley floral print two-pieces, fully made up face but the hair windswept in dissaray and visibly struggling with the cart. The whole scene low-key in high contrast monochrome.
Reminds me of a shopping cart that might be in the movie "Wall-E", left in a BNL store abandoned for 700 years.
The cart needs more isolation from the background, blends in too much. I think contrast curves would help.
I probably would have opened up to F4 or F2.8, lowered the ISO. I also have the Nikkor 135/2.8 Q, and the newer 135/2.8 AIs.
Nothing special... Not necessarily nude or anything like that. Since the shot is low level, she could be wearing slacks (but obviously a woman of means). Just the juxtaposition of a person of class with something (the shopping cart and it's contents in this instance) so obviously without class.
Whether it would work or not, I can't say. I'd have to see the finished product. Peter's idea might, in fact, work better.

Brian, I think more like Freddy Kruger shopping cart but movie Wall-E it's OK.
F4 and 5.6 are the sweet points of the 135mm f/2.8, ISO depends on the camera you can see not too much noise ISO 6400 with D4, usually I work with less ISO but believe or not the time was really short to take the photos, no flash and the session not was planned to use the 135mm, I come from street session from Barcelona Seaport, outdoors and daytime ; and this chance was an unic opportunity.
So I don't think twice, and I try.
Imagine the reverse situation from daytime and sun.... to indoors with artificial light and this 135mm that was too long for the job in this location crowed of things, believe me the making off it's delirious not planned at all.
I think the perfect for this work after I have done it with the 135mm, maybe would be 55mm micro Nikkor f/3.5 I missed it a lot, with the 135mm I suffer moving a lot and focusing but not regrets, it's always better do the photo than regret about or not do it.
Sometimes happens that you don't have the most adequate lens for the job and the opportunity appears, you need to adapt the better you can. You know, Murphy's law......
Sure, if I carry the macro lens, I don't found this site for sure.
Be sure it's crazy, do the same job with one mid-range zoom or medium telephoto, totally different.
Note : I will try to return to this magical place to repeat the season with a different lens if it's able. But 95% time is closed, it's a private artist warehouse. No hourly

Ron, you mean Cruella de vil this kind of woman
Peter Idea + Ron Idea = the girl of the chandelier song from SIA with high heals.
Brainstorm of ideas are the best to improve results, if it is weird is the correct way
BTW the only person meet the requisites to be the model is me 4' 7" and 77lbs
