A Cold, Lonely Goodbye

Considering how unconventionally high the horizon, with the bold silhouetted figure also placed in the upper half of the image, the rocks interfere with a phenomenal potential of a simple and powerful composition, which would be perfectly balanced without it.

The ferry, while compositionally redundant, makes for a fine metaphor as appears in the same pure white as the sand grounding the man, whose foot prints lead to anyone looking. The same can be said about the horizon intersecting with the subject's head: it actually aids the metaphor.

A wonderful image, really, full of sweet ache and tension, spanning several miles and then some: an easy favourite.

This image is so good (well-seen, composed and processed) and strong (contrasted and sharp), it would, IMO, benefit from a plainer border. If it doesn't ribbon, I'll eat my pen.

Considering the image, birds and all, I've added a well-deserved point for the title.

This is a great idea, an immaculate arrangement, a humorously dreamy human subject and pose... If only the image enjoyed a little more contrast, hell, I'd forsake the subtle toning and award it a 10!

A Common Black Hawk?

I stand corrected - a Northern Harrier. Nice design, with racing stripe and all. :-)
