Very nice image! I like the silhouette with b&w look very much. Fits the challenge extremely well, nice mood presented. Lighting is great and the focus is ncie too. 8

Very powerful image. Focus is excellent, image has a lot to see and all of it culminates in a feeling of desperation, loneliness, sadness and pain. Title really sets the piece up. Color is good, I like the sort of washed out look (was this desaturated?) makes the arm look dead. A gutsy image to make - I really like the 'blood' drop. A disturbing but fantastic image. 10

The Early Bird

Love the blue, gives a nice brightness to the image. Use of natural light is good - throws the duck into a semi-silhouette. I would rather the duck had more sharpness to it though, seems a bit blurred. Good composition - use of distance & space is excellent, supports the all alone feel. 7

Dinner For One

Nice warm tones. I like the composition - the empty chair helps support the lone diner theme. The low lighting boosts the mood as well. Good focus, though part of the napkin seems a bit soft - would rather that was completely sharp. A great image. 7

Low Profile

Good capture! The whole composition fits so well together. Of course the glare of light is distracting, but the shape of the shadow is well defined and fits the challenge perfectly. A very nice photo. 6

Ok.. I give up.. I don't get it :( I'm not seeing the shadow aspect here, I don't really understand what I am looking at to be honest. Seems like a blurred piece of paper being held up by something. I'm sure my perception is probably very skewed and I'm missing a very simple element but there it is all the same. 3

Great image! I love the color, and the refraction at the top makes a very brilliant halo. Composition is fabulous, I wish I could've gotten a shadow so sharp. Very well done. 8

Summer Fading Away

This is a nice autumn photo, I like the color and clarity - great focus. There are shadows in the piece, so it fits the challenge, but it doesn't seem like the shadows are the focus of the image. A different interpretation I guess. Lighting is great. Good interest from all the different items shown. 7

Friends Last Forever

Very emotive image. Definite sadness and I can infer a loneliness from missing the friend. Good use of light and black & white. Focus is excellent. A very nice tribute to someone lost. 7

Wow.. I wouldn't mind lonely nights that begin like this. The image is spectacular. The colors are wonderful, the silhouette is perfect. Focus is great, everything is so crisp. There's nothing I do not like about this image. Very well done - I'm envious! 10
