Because this B&W image was taken 'against the light', an almost silhouetted result was achieved. I've chosen to depict the walker not that large as well. To capture it this way, I've tried to intensify the feeling of loneliness of the walker, along one of the borders of the Lake of Veere, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

It's my weekly entry for the Wednesday B&W challenge.

The walker looks tiny against the skyline of the town but the effect of loneliness has come out well Cornelius.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.

I really like the horizontal lines and the little man looks very lonely in such a big view.
Perfect for the BWC thank you Cornelius. It will be added to the list tomorrow ;)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Loneliness of the Lakeside Walker...

Excellent use of natural parallel lines and the pointy buildings look good in an all but silhouetted backdrop.
