Nice editing. Not allowing the subject and foreground to be a simple silhouette by giving it some light makes your photograph strong.

There's something badass about this but natural as well. Horizon seems a bit off to me.

Great composition. The effect is prefect for this piece.

Nice mood shot

You broke the rules by having the horizon tilted a bit. The image is still strong.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The silhouette of the tree and the silhouette of the man work well together, visually.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:50:21 PM
Nice silhouette, horizon really is wonky isn't it?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. This is my leaning tree, I come here when I need time and space to think...to feel...to think of which direction I need to take. It's trunk has always got my back. I come here and it's rough bark is strong and gives me support when I need a comfort zone. My leaning tree rests nearby the waters. An ideal place for the waters reflect the skies moods as I too reflect upon things and feelings. The gentle sound of the water lapping is a gentle soothing sound that helps to calm jangled nerves. This is my secret place, my leaning tree. This is what story unfolds when I look upon your composition. The colors and silhouettes as well as the presence of the two main subject paints a mood and feel for the photo.

I like the darkness of the photo and the blues. Wondering why you did not straighten the horizon.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think that the figure should have had as much detail/light on the top half as shows in the lower half, seems a bit disjointed this way. jmo

Interpretation of Topic: Great Choice
Photography: Sharp
Viewers Reaction: Interesting, I would make the title, "Alone Together" as nature and man are so often alone even though they are together.

03/14/2009 09:15:43 PM
Very interesting photo. Nice comp and contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:10:06 PM
Interesting use of back light for both model & tree.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 05:05:23 PM

great composition. you have a good eye.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:19:33 PM
I like the composition and the almost silhouetted model and tree.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:07:39 PM
Very dramatic silhouette effect!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:52:17 PM
nice wide angle perspective but would have liked either a bit more light on the subject or a bit less, great location and photo either way.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:51:02 PM
Wonderful composition and colors! With the detail still showing in the pants, but not in the face, the pants seem to draw my attention. I would have burned the highlights in them to make this score more highly.

I hope this does well for you.

Beatuiful reflections and sky. I wish the silhouette were sharper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 05:02:00 PM
I really like your processing here. Although it looks a little unnatural, I think it really works for this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 03:21:19 PM
Nice composition and contrasts, although all the water seems to go to the left.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 02:24:52 PM
Interesting angle, and great sky behind.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 02:14:32 PM

he water came out perfect in this shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 02:30:32 AM
I don't see 'alone' here, but I do like the picture. I also like the very subtle details in the shadow areas.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:25:30 AM
Super composition. I like the semi-sillouete look.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:58:23 PM
Very nice composition. The post processing makes the subject look like a statue.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:35:22 PM
Really like the composition and the fact that it is more of a silhouette type of shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful image in a gorgeous location - lovely entry for this challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:44:36 AM
I like that you can see some of the pants and shoes and makes me wish there was a little more texture or viewability in the upper part of the body. Good colors in the water and sky and nice cropping.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:10:19 AM
Great PP job
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:45:19 AM
I cant decide if the colors are just that good or if this is waaayyy overprocessed.
03/11/2009 09:57:44 PM
Nice silhouette. Love the light on the water.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:54:38 PM

03/11/2009 09:49:22 PM
HDR? his pants and the tree have a real robot look to them (actually animation)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:20:50 PM
Use of lighting makes this shot. Well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:06:35 PM

Just hanging out...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:16:43 PM
nice shot, but the man and the tree is a little over processed. should have left them as silhouettes
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:48:16 PM
Very coll shot giving it an 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:25:04 PM
Not too keen on the vignette effect and I'd like the horizon to either be level or more wonky (if that makes sense) but I like the silhouette and the detail on the water.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:12:51 PM
Love the back lighting w/ the great back drop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 11:06:37 AM
need a bit of light on the face
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:18:07 AM
Very nice editing. Makes it not so typical. 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:39:17 AM
Cool shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:57:32 AM
person blends too much with tree and background. a POV more to the right had brought out the silhouette much better. teh darkened edgses don't seem to add to the image. horizon is tilted, but that's minor.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:50:16 AM
Nice scene. The pose looks a little strange to me, like he's part of the tree. I like the vignette and the water reflections.
