I like the scenery and I love the light rays, but the lens flares are a little distracting. As I was scrolling down to see the whole piece, I found that I really liked the light effect if the sun part was cropped out with just the rays coming in and hitting the ground. All in all it has a nice impact on me, did I mention I love the light rays? ;) 7

Egg

Interesting. I'm not sure the significance (if there is any) of the white eggs all being broken/used. I think the contrast in color very well separates the brown egg and creates that all alone aspect. It is of course got the second layer of being the only intact egg too - perhaps that was what you were going for (if a deeper meaning is there I confess I missed it!). I like the lighting, I'm not sure if I'd prefer it highlighting the different nature of the brown egg, or if its exclusion of the brown egg putting it in the shadows is better, they both work nicely. I do wish the focus was a bit sharper though. Well done. 7

Alone on the playgrounds

Great capture. Light is just right, I like the use of color contrasts. The child being black & white really separates him from the 'normal' enhancing that solitary or lonely feeling. I think him being on a piece of playground equipment also highlights the fact that he is alone, no friends to play with. Very nice. 8

Fallen

Very powerful image. I love the expanse and range of blue. There is a nice tranquility with the solitude. Simple but the feeling comes across perfectly. I would rather there was a bit more light directly on the leaf, but its no biggie really. Well done. 9

Great color, I like how you portrayed alone. Focus is good as is the lighting. I think being a little further back, so the expanse of green was larger might enhance the alone feeling. 6

Nice composition. The colors are great, the contrasting nature of them enhances the solitude feel of the piece. The detail and focus is great. I love the way the textures of the ground and the leave show. Nicely done. 8

I think this is a beautiful image. Very peaceful which evokes solitude for me. The lighting is excellent, as are the colors. A nice contrast of warm and cool tones. The human element really adds to the feeling of the image. Well done. 9

lonely shoe

I think the image fits the 'all alone' aspect of the challenge, its well lit and in good focus. Unfortunately, the image as a whole isn't very interesting to me. A suggestion to add some energy to the piece was to pose it in a way and in a place that made it look cast a side. Something to give it a bit more depth. 4

Come, O Weary Traveler! Rest under me...

My goodness. Where is this? Very interesting image. The play between gigantic and small is great, the perspective really captures the size of the boulder. Lighting is great, I'm not sure it really feels lonely or solitary to me though. Still a technically sound image. 7

Last one to fall

Very interesting. I like the desaturation, the bit of color left really brings out the solitary aspect of the subject. Great focus on both the leaves and the bulb thing. The biggest negative impact for me though is the border. It seems intensely overdone and adds too much white. Perhaps just the inner thin border would've been sufficient. 7
