One of the best surfing photos I have ever seen. Really impressionistic and brings the feeling of the action to the viewer (speaking as an ex-surfer).

Forget the challenge. This is a very grand photo. It captures very well those moments. You have a lovely family.

Desolation of the Spirit

Comment:
Vulnerable, delicate and attractive is what comes to mind first. Possibly a desolate thought running through her mind.

A grand natural drama and more than a little desolate.

A wondeful location for photos. A bit desolate too.

Wretchedness - Feeling Blue
by Tajhad

Comment:
I sort of feel everytime I look at a title in this challenge, if it is not a word that alludes to or implies desolation it is then more the word chosen (in your case wretchedness) than desolation. But in your case I think this image does encompass desolation of a sort. Perhaps the desolation of spirit that you are depciting is diluted too much in the space around the human. Somehow a little closer in with selective inclusion of burned out highlights or whatever would emphasize the desolate feeling.

Out of Power

That's a long, long coastline you've fitted down the lens. Quite remarkable really and completely takes my mind off the challenge subject. Desolation or not? Yes, I think it is.

Pretty scene.

Ancient Shipwreck

That prow rather pokes into my left eye, if you know what I mean. Interesting location and colours. Might be more desolate with less of the fertile green.

Looks like Checkpoint Charley.
