 I took this picture when walking around downtown one night. I didn't have a tripod but there was a half wall there where i stood. I set the camera on it and took the photo while the man slept.

Already voted, returning for comments. I don't know if this it really painful isolation, or just some guy sitting on a bench, but it's still very good. I like the contrast between the social atmosphere in the background and the person sitting alone in the foreground. Very good both technically, and emotively. 9

The shot is a little cluttered. The lighting is spooky and strange. The subject, though sharply focussed is mostly on the wrong side of the light and so is hard to see. The picture itself strikes me as being messy, unkempt, hard to make out. But the story it tells is touching. A man travelling to see loved ones who have not come to pick him up. It is a powerful story. The photo is about a 3. The story is about a 9.

Sensitive and evocative photo. Liked it a lot.

Nice idea. The person seems a little too overexposed and "soft".

this really captures hopelessness and pain but I think the subject should be lit up a bit more. . .

He might be alone, but he doesn't look as if in pain. I like the fact that it's a candid shot, but the lighting resulted in an almost invisible face. He looks quite at peace, almost satisfied. 5.
