Red Rock Rush Hour

Wonderful! The title is great, fits the image so very well. Excellent colors and use of available light. I love the contrast between the vast scrub and the looming hills. Very nice focus and detail. The only thing I don't like is the dead/grey looking scrub in the immediate foreground. Doesn't look like it could've been cropped out though without losing part of the burro?. Good job! 8

Vacant until Spring

Beautiful image. Does look a bit lonely, but oddly - the leaves inside the nest sort of cancels out the emptiness. Still the texture of the sticks, their brittle nature helps to give the feeling of being alone/solitary. Excellent focus, nice perspective and great light. Well done. 9

Attitude

LOL what a great image. Definitely says attitude to me, also has that alone feeling. What an interesting mix. I like the color with the b&w. Excellent use of space - really enhances the alone mood. I do love Garfield and this image captures his attitude well. Great idea! 8

Great composition for this challenge. I like the unique manifestation. Well lit, color is good. I wish there was a little sharper focus on the pea. I think the idea is fantastic and is achieved well. Nice job. 7

They don't let me play with them

This is a great image. Gives the feeling of being left out and alone, yet has wonderful vivid colors and is fun! Very nice composition. Great focus, I do like the lighting but I think its a little to bright on the red piece, the glare at the bottom does detract for me. Simply wonderful. 10

A walk in the park ...

This is a gorgeous image, the color profusion is marvelous. I like the lighting. It seems very peaceful, however I'm not sure where the all alone (solitude/loneliness) piece comes in? Are you talking about the vertical bush/tree? I'm not picking it up from this photo because everything seems to fit together, meshes very well. Lowered vote because of that - but it is a very technically and visually appealing image. 8

Missing you

Great photo. The human and emotional content is very high and is portrayed wonderfully. The colors are nice and the muted light helps convey the mood. I like the fact that the words are readable. I do think the slight tilt is distracting, but not too a huge extent. Nicely done. 7

In My Window

Great perspective! I like the silhouette aspect, the colors of the scene outside really contrast nicely. Definitely has an alone look and solitary feeling. I find the pose of the subject looking upwards and the perspective of the camera, tilted down a bit to give a nice subtle interest. Crisp lines. Very much like it as a whole. 8

Hanging On

What a fantastic capture! Excellent detail, the focus is marvelous. Lighting is wonderful. Really highlights that last wisher. I would love to see a black & white rendition of this. The one thing that I don't like is the border, I think its a little overbearing. Other than that, this is a wonderful image. 9

Wonderful image. Captures the challenge essence very well. I love the black&white aspect of it. The lighting is great the subject is perfect. I think the soft focus helps to enhance the lost feeling. I really like how this photo draws me in and immediately has an emotional impact. Very nicely done. 10
