Nice clarity, good mood set with the lighting and sepia look. Fits the challenge well. Has a nice use of space. Wish the focus was a little sharper, but it looks good overall. 7

Love the use of black & white, posing of the figure is good, helps convey a lonely feeling to me. Lighting looks great, but I'm seeing a strange aura affect, that I'm not sure if it was from resizing, some kind of filter, or what. I don't think it detracts from the image any, it just looks odd to me. Very nicely done. 8

Fading Memory of Summer

Beautiful image, I love the duotone. Would like a less tight crop so there's some breathing room on the left. Focus is marvelous, I like the lighting as well. I'm finding only a tenuous connection to a feeling of solitude or loneliness as outlined by the challenge, but it does meet generally. Lovely work. 7

Lost

Good use of the lighting, focus is good overall. I like the concept, fits the challenge, but compositionally I think I would've preferred to see the dog further along the road. Taken so close, the feeling of being lost is reduced for me. I really like the distance shown. Very nice. 7

Alone on the Play Ground

Nice use of light and b&w. Gives a good darker mood to the image. Though the subject isn't alone, I do get a feeling of solitude. Focus helps remove the girl from the background, which enhances that feeling. Very well done. 7

I love the crispness of this image. Excellent focus. Lighting is good, highlights the subject well. I think its a unique idea to portray all alone. I don't get the feelings of loneliness or solitude mentioned in the challenge details, but I think it still fits the challenge generally. Well done. 7

Not Alone So Much Longer

I like the length of the image, different from many. The darker lighting helps make the photo moodier and the perspective is good. I like the composition, but being that its supposed to be all alone, the addition of the second bird throws that off for me. I understand the sentiment behind the image, I just dont think it works for the essence of this particular challenge. That said, the first view of the photo is of a bird alone, so you do get that impact in the beginning. Focus is good on the top bird. Interesting portrayal, falls short on the challenge for me, but has a very nice unique factor. 6

Where am I?

Great image. Love the use of space and perspective. Nice dark mood to it, helps give the feeling of being lost in a vast unknown. Subject itself gets a bit lost in the background though, wish there was a way to make him/her a little more visible without losing the nice darkness. Focus is fantastic. Well done. 7

I like the vision behind this image. The lines are wonderful, I like the lighting as well. I wish the focus was a little sharper though. Also, the crop of it makes me feel like only part of the story has been told. I wish more of the couch was shown - I think it would help increase the alone feel if a larger expanse of empty couch was visible. Nice job. 6
