Taken in a city park in New York City. It was a nice summer night, and I was looking for a nice empty place to take a picture and then found this lonely bench.

This conveys the loneliness definition of desolation to me, which the duotone compliments. The circular armrests of the bench are appealing, almost like a portal that draws the eye through them. I'm sure this is a basketball or tennis court in a park somewhere, but with the high wall on the left it sort of reminds me of a prison yard and I think that strenthens the loneliness feel of it to me.

Nice perspective. A little grainy. Don't care for the purplish tint too much.

The blue/purple tone fits the picture well. I love the bright window in the back, IMO it adds to the sense of desolation. ~8

This is wonderful. It seems like everyone's gone but you! Nice depth. Good sense of movement with the circular rails.

Unusual point of view really works for me. I like the texture and lines too.

for me there is a lack of clarity/sharpness in this

Level your camera and this is great

Well thought out, very impressive. the eye is drawn to the empty bench before realizing there's no one there to sit on it...

I like the feel of the empty bench in a large empty room. Well done!
