Nice idea. Might an image of the empty escalator between them be effective?

Just wonderful!

I think it gets even better if the eye, eyebrow, mouth and the nose ever so 
slightly, are given a mild dose of Focus 
Magic. I almost always find I like an image like this best if the eye is in 
focus. Pulling the DOF a little further back 
does that. <http://www.moosemystic.net/Gallery/Others/Fildes/Pietro.htm>

I'm not sure what the Zeiss look is, but hope the subtle changes doesn't mess 
it up.
