Nice alignment with the sun through the pier and the seagull. Great timing.

d**m, this is the voodoo that you do so well. I love it all over, not least the heels, the calf muscles, the blown hair, the dress and them sweet macho dogs

I didn't vote in the challenge, but in answer to your thread questioning the score, I think this failed to break into the top tier (i.e. above 6) because the bird fills much of the frame and therefore the feeling of being alone is minimized. In other words I think you needed more expanse to accentuate the single pelican. Also I sometimes like the tilted perspective shots, but this one I think would be better with a close to horizontal horizon.

All of that said, if I had voted I probably would have given this a 6, and probably higher in a different challenge. It's a photo to be proud of, for sure.

I loved this image and gave it a 9 -- hard to believe only one other person did. I ran out of time and didn't comment but I thought it fit the challenge well. It's true that many of the entries were on the sad or depressing side of "alone", but the challenge description said "a feeling of loneliness or solitude" so I had no problem with your interpretation. I love the angle, the detail is great, and you were both obviously up early and taking advantage of the hour. Very nice capture IMO
