Above it All

Great image! I love the rich colors in the foreground. Excellent focus on the sheep and grass, I even like the country vs 'city' contrast with its natural light on the sheep and the hazy, pseudo-smog air over the town. (not sure if that was purposeful or not, but there it is all the same) Fits the challenge very well in my eyes. I'm not exactly sure what aspect has engaged me so much with this image, but I really like it. 10

Hug Me!

Heh, cute title. I like the contrast of color against grey. Focus is good in general, but I wish the plant was sharper, rather than the gravel/sand beneath it. The low lighting sets off the image well. I think the border is too bright, pulls my eyes away from the photo. 6

Nice use of black & white, lighting is excellent too. I like the focus - there's a nice feeling of depth with the composition as well. Fits the challenge. Nice solid image. 7

Girl at the Seashore

Great perspective! The natural light is nice, has a softness too it that extends to the water and beach. The rather neutral colors help enhance the subject, she stands out very well. There's a feeling of 'all alone' but not solitude or loneliness to me - this is a rather joyful image. I like it. Good use of space. 6

Where to go now?

Fits the challenge, has good focus and the low lighting is ok but the image is flat for me, doesn't generate much interest. I think a different use of space, having the fly in one of the bottom corners with a large expanse of drapery or cloth might add some depth to the photo. 5

Cute title, nice fresh image. Contrast is excellent, as is focus. Lighting is good in general but it takes away from the solitude/loneliness aspect for me - I'm not getting either of those feelings from the photo. Composition is good, not sure if a different pose might help convey the 'all alone'-ness even deeper or not. I do find that bit of string a distractant since everything else is pristine - really stands out. 7

Lone walk at sunset

Nice contrast with the sun and shade. I like the perspective, but I wish the shot was zoomed out more, to give a better feeling of space and alone-ness. I like the lighting, helps add interest to the shot, gives a pseudo-silhouette appeal as well. I wish the focus was a little sharper on the walker. Nice image overall. 6

Lovely landscape. Good focus, nice composition - I do wish the car was further along the road, I think the more distance between the car and the photographer would help enhance the alone feeling. The colors are nice, especially the sky. I wish it wasn't quite so cloudy so some of the ground color could get through, but its darkness is a nice foil for the blue. Good solid image. 7

Solitaire IS Solitude

I like the symbolism in this shot - I can see it easily being played by a lonely or bored person. The lighting is good as is the focus. Fits the challenge well, but overall my interest isn't kept by the image. Works on most levels though. 6

Heh, I like the juxtoposition of this image. Very unexpected. Shame on whoever put it there too, unless it was set out for the shot. ;) Great color differences, I like the lighting. Nice photo. 7
