		| | 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. |

		| | You broke the rules by having the horizon tilted a bit. The image is still strong. |

		| | The silhouette of the tree and the silhouette of the man work well together, visually. |

		| | 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 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.

		| | 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. |

		| | 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.

		| | 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. |

		| | 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. |
