1st place
Alone by coram9

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.

Auschwitz Firing Wall by KNKGIRL

KNKGIRL: thanks everyone! :)

mikerkim: I have to say I think this one is my favorite.

verenabloo: Heartbreaking isn't even a strong enough word. I'm from Germany and to think of what happened there is gut wrenching. Verena

Jimbobedsel: Very thought provoking image, and can give you chills if you think too deeply about it. Excellent. Good luck in the contest.
