    Re: Loneliness

    yoyo - another very accomplished mono shot from you. You are certainly blessed by wonderful architecture to place your 'subjects' in.

    I am not sure I get 'loneliness' though from it. It might convey this a little better if there were only a single person instead of a couple, and those that are there seem more 'busy' than lonely. From this perspective, perhaps it is misnamed?

    Cheers

    I see 5 people, so I don't immediately get the title.

    Yoyo, you have a distinctive style that is admirable. I don't particularly get the title, either, but my first impression of the shot was that you were tilted, or something. Then I thought it might be a fish-eye lens. Then I realized it is the unique construction of the building, and I thought the same shot, again with a person in it to show scale, but taken a little more from the right would better show off the unique archeticture and keep me from getting dizzy looking at it. lol

    Re: Loneliness

    Perhaps its the lack of companionship?

    Either way, that's the only thing that seems to be critiqued here Yoyo, the title! Another good shot

    Nice photo! Would be a lot better if there was less people but great photo nonetheless!

    Re: Loneliness

    Hi Mike, You are right about the title. The photo does not have a strong feeling of loneliness.

    Hi Greg, Thanks for the kind words as always.

    Hi PAul, You are right. I am not getting the title now.

    Hi Ron, Your suggestion about more from the right is very valid. Thanks a lot for it.

    Hi Danic, Yes, the lack of companionship was what I thought. Apparently, the sense of loneliness is not strong enough.

    Hi Hydroflame, Thanks for the suggestion.
