1st place luckyshot: Chris - There is a mood of sadness in this photo. The man's expression, the worn bench, and dark surroundings, all in B/W, lend to the tone. Very well done! Thad
Nikoneer: Congratulations, Chris, on your first place finish in the "Desolation" contest. When I first viewed "Alone" as a thumbnail it looked intriguing. When I brought it to full size I was taken by the pathos of human emotion you captured, from the odd clothes combination this man is wearing, to the bag of questionable goods by his side, and even to his placement in the photo — on one end of his seat with plenty of empty bench beside him and empty space beside the bench. "Empty" might work as a sub-title and could very well be what this poor soul's life is like. Truly a social message.
