Comment by Haneck:
the composition, with all the harsh highlights and shadows, does not particularly appeal to me, but the composition is interesting.

nice crisp, clean sharp details with your eye drawn straight to what you want to look at. Love your shadow wok and the details in the crumbling walls, Well done

Well composed, brutally honest in its presentation.

The only human beeing who lived in harmony

Comment by ubique:
I liked it more at first glance than I do on reflection; I have the feeling that it looks more consequential than it actually is. I wondered if you were saying that the central, strangely hunched figure finds harmony only in solitude? That works I guess, versus the couple behind, but then what of the other two solo persons further back? If the central figure is the only human beeing (sic) living in harmony, then what are they living in? I couldn't work out what it meant, and concluded that it doesn't mean anything at all. Still in my top five, though ... at least it stimulated a train of thought, even if it took me nowhere.

One of my favorites for this challenge. The lens flare is gorgeous. Lovely depth, richness. The different postures - youth, middle age, old age - perfect.

I don't get the 'beeing' meaning. If I ignored the title would I see 'Life'. Hmmm? No, but it's a nice photo and very emotive looking. For me, I'm getting a feeling of depression and I mean that in a good artistic way not literally.

Interesting shot with a subtle story to it. Great example of photojournalism. I enjoy the black and white but I wonder what the color version looks like. (For comparison sake only)
