Emptiness, desolation, worn out and abandoned... bang on for the theme. Don't like the red colour toning.

Late in the Day, City by the Bay...

A pretty landscape with great cloud interest. Very serene.
The crop at the bottom edge seems to include a row of white pixels.

I´ll never tell
by Mundi

Comment:
The title and environment suggest to me a situation which the model would not want to be in, would not take pleasure from. Hence his smile seems out of place to me, though perhaps he's delighted with himself for not telling, it seems to me he'd actually just be emotionally drained from resisting... Great choice to position him in the corner and include so much of the wall and darkness.

Silent Pain

Comment:
Interesting idea. Lighting feels rather uneven - strongest on her cheek and neck - perhaps needs to be positioned differently and slightly diffused, though harsh does fit with content.

Desolate Dock

Comment:
Does feel very desolate, like the black and white. Feels a bit too centred to me - maybe spin to your left a touch so the bin and light are further right in the frame?

Fallen Comrade

Comment:
This is very poignant. Absence = silence - a permanent, jarring silence. A beautifully simple image with such a depth of feeling. I like the choice to make the bearer anonymous.

Silent Waiting

The silence of waiting... can seem so very long... well captures though colours seem too saturated to me.

Silence

This is great - kind of like a slice of history - the decor of the room, the comfy slippers. English grandpa on a quiet Sunday afternoon kind of feel... (though I'm assuming from the paper that this is infact American).

By the Light of the Moon

Great to capture the moonlight and the artificial houselight so well. I like the red, white and blue colour graduation.
