Absolutely love this shot! As soon as I saw it, instantly, I thought 10!
The DOF is well done, the detail on the bear is great. Love the colors and the lighting. The position of the bear, as if someone just threw it out like it's old junk. Great shot. Lovely angle. Perfectly done!

Love the processing. The unlevel horizon actually adds to the image, IMO. Love the pose of the pelican. Great capture!

I almost did something similar to this with my daughter as the model. Great focus! Love the colors, it helps to portray that lonely feeling. Nicely executed.

The colors are nice and vibrant. I think that what's throwing me off is the un-levelness of the cage.
I like the title, fitting. And a nice close up.
Did you try taking the picture at a further distance? Sometimes that helps with the composition of an image as well. I know there are many pictures that I wish I would have just taken a few steps back, while others that I should have taken a few closer.
Overall, nice entry.

soon I will be with you again....

Originally, my eyes focused on the brightly colored cross in the middle of the photo, afterwards, I noticed the woman. I think perhaps if the focal point (or even coloring) was more on the woman, rather than that particular subject (the cross in the middle), it would have made for a better photo, but that's just my opinion.

The fact that all the tombstones are asymmetrical and off balance makes for a nice effect. There is a decent DOF in the photo. And the title is well done.

Overall, a good photo, but *I* feel with a few adjustments, it could have been even better.

WHY

This is such a sad and emotional shot. The title emphasizes that fact. The lighting is perfectly executed. It's almost like he's unwanted, locked in a basement. The expression on his face is great... the stance, the way he's holding the teddy bear (?). It's all perfectly done! 10

Lovely shot. The processing is amazing. I'm sure there will be people who think it's over done, but I think it works well with this particular image. Not sure what that is in the middle of the posts, but it does portray a feeling of loneliness, especially given the title.

Nice DOF and color. Love the fact that it is way off in the distance... great "lonely" feeling. Nice processing and wonderful capture!

Forgotten

The softness to this picture adds to the quality. Love the building that is almost falling over... it's definitely "forgotten". Fits the challenge perfectly! Love the colors, the lighting, the pp. Wonderful job!
