Great photo, but I don't get a feeling of desolation here. It's almost inspiration.

Well, it is hard to call this desolate but I can see where you were taking the shot. I think it is absolutely gorgeous! I don't think there is anything I like better than sunbeams and yours are so dramatic. I really like your choice of the blue duotone. It took me a look or two before I realized that it is not a color shot. The color and surface of the water is great, that is why I would like to see a little more water in the composition because it is so beautiful. That's my only complaint, if you want to call it that.

Good photo.
The cool blue tones and black horizon profile make this pic communicate emptiness cq desolation. The sun trough the sky adds a point of interest. Even the mountains far away add to this in a split second. Somehow, despite the lack of a really strong point of interest, this my favourite for this challenge.

Beautiful... I don't know that I would think of desolate.

Nice photo. Very inspiring. Not sure about "desolate", but I like it. Maybe in sepia or mono it would look lonelier.

This is a beautiful photo, but rather than evoking a feeling of desolation, the rays of light shooting out from behind the clouds give me more a sense of hope and peace. The title alone doesn't alter this perception. Wonderful shot though.

I understand the idea of alone, but in my humble opinion, a forest by a lake with the sun peeking through the clouds displays anything but desolation. It is a nice picture, but it seems full of life to me.

Very fine photo for a nature shot. IMO this is too sublime to be described as desolation.

great shot, but it makes me feel more hope than desolation. Still it speaks to me.

This shot is really nice, but where is the desolation here?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I feel hope in this shot more than desolation. I like how the sun's rays are captured, but not for this challenge. Makes it too cheerful.
