Working All Alone

Wow, don't envy him that job. Great use of space, the deep landscape really gives a feeling of solitude. The perspective is great because it makes the subject look even smaller. Nice rich green, wish the background colors weren't quite so washed out though. Still a great image. 7

I like the image, it has a nice story to it. Love the clarity and focus, lighting is good. Nice use of black and white. I'm not sure that I get a feeling of solitude or loneliness - though I do think it fits the challenge in general. A very nice image. 7

Good emotional impact, subject helps with that. Lighting is pretty good, would like the focus to be a bit sharper. Definite loneliness feeling to the image (not sure if that is solely from the image itself though - I think the title has an impact on that too). A nice sound photo. 6

A nice silhouette! I like the use of light, and the single pole fits the challenge well. The vastness of the ocean helps extend the feeling of solitude. I do wish there were richer colors. Over all a very solid image. Well done. 6

A nice image, I like the distinction not only in size, but generally in shape and color - frosted vs. not. I think that would hold true better if the very right piece wasn't a pawn. So that this forward one would be completely different in every way. I like the reflection of the other pieces in the clear pawn - its almost as if it is seeing the others grouped and realizing its alone. I wish there was a way to lighten the whole image up though. The low lighting gives a nice effect for the frosted pieces but I'd like the overall darkness to lighten up just a bit. Nice image. 6

Lego Loneliness

Heh, what a cute image. Looks like one of the buildings has fallen down which I find distracting. Focus is pretty good, the low lighting works, but I wish the image was brighter - I think a fair amount of detail is lost. I like the perspective, the expanse of castle behind the lego man helps give the impression of alone and solitude. Fun interpretation. 6

Why nobody likes me?

Excellent detail on the subject. Very crisp and clear. The background color is nice, though the green thing is a distraction (even though its blurred out). Fits the challenge in general, and I get an abstract feeling of solitude - mainly because I know many don't like snakes so that would lead to its exclusion. Lighting is great. A solid image. 7

A very sweet and peaceful image. I like the muted light, fits the challenge fairly well, get a vague sense of solitude. The colors are nice, especially the shirt vs. the green grass. The street in the upper left kind of detracts for me. Would rather a full expanse of grass. Very photogenic child, wonderful expressive face. Nice job! 7

Gorgeous silhouette. I love the colors, spectacular. Focus is excellent, use of light is obviously wonderful. The simplicity of the cactus shape and its starkness against the color really help promote the alone and solitude feelings. Excellent image. 10

In the corner

The cold blue tone really helps convey a feeling of loneliness, despair and maybe even fear. Model looks very vulnerable. Focus is great, lighting is good though the stark white is a little brighter than I'd like. Very emotive piece. Well done. 8
