Awwwwww. How sad! Nice photo for this challenge. It does raise a desolate feeling in my heart even thinking about a beautiful little girl like her being abandoned.

WOW!!! It's hard to feel desolate when feasting on that stunning beauty. I love this! Professional photography in every way. I love the effect of the long shutter speed on those waves contrasting that aqua water. It's just too beautiful not to give a high score. 9 (just 1 point for it being more gorgeous than desolate. . .sorry)

Wow! Fantastic job making desolation look so stunning! The foreground is perfect for this theme, and the beautiful background enhances this so much without detracting from the desolate mood. Nice work.

This photo is so emotive and sad. Yes. . .my heart feels desolate even looking at this one. But you did a great job depicting the theme. And I love your composition where you can only see a small part of the mom. Very nice work!
