Comment by cghubbell:
Nice lighting and shadows on the foreground, but the background seems to be a bit underexposed.

Comment by whagerbaumer:
The lighting, point of view and composition somehow flattens space. The colors also do not work for me.

A 3.

Seems a little over exposed, but composition and depth of field are effective.

Comment by BillE:
Nice textures. Seems a bit washed out or under exposed. If your software allows, I would bump up the saturation a bit.

You have a good composition, but the colors seems a bit flat, mabey more contrast and color adjustments? Good luck :)

Comment by LucidLotus:
A nice shot, I like the angles and lines. Use of black & white is good, though I wish there were a higher contrast. Good focus, lighting is nice. A technically sound image. I don't see how it goes with the challenge though, and I only briefly connect with it on an interest basis as mentioned previously about the angles. I'm afraid I don't get a feeling of solitude or loneliness. But, it is a great shot, very nicely done on the technical side. 6

what part of this expresses loneliness or being alone. I don't see it
