| This was one of my highest votes of this challenge (gave it an 8). Nicely done but it is the location, processing and the lovely title that separates this and significantly elevates it from similar concepts I have seen. |

Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hi Don.
I am Alan :), and you are my first Critique, please bear with me as I feel as a fly in a tarantulas den.
On first viewing, and reading the poem twice, I gather both title and image where combined intentionally at the time of capture. Both fit too well together for it to be a accident. The background fits well with the mood. The leaf on the right drawing the eye down the long trail the lonely man must travel alone. The hand err the fingers grasping the sun attempting to prevent it from reaching higher in the sky, preventing it becoming spring. This was well thought out, and executed, and a fine job capturing the essence of both.
Now for the other part, yes I see a couple. The mood is dark, depressed, love lost. I think bringing the brights down a bit might convey the mood a bit better, though might not have helped with the average voter.
And the err ummm hand is ummm a bit too nice, for want of another word. This man has no desire to interact with anyone, so deep and dark his mood, he will go to the point of repelling others (bum like) to prevent it.
Had I voted this challenge a 7 or 8, if curiosity had me looking for the poem (likely) 9 or 10.
A critique of my critique is more than welcome..

This is very well done! It's a very cool picture, I guess just not cold enough... :P
Awesome shot, however. |

| I don't really get the feeling of coldness (although I do wonder about the ghost person and ghost dog on the right). But I think the pinching of the sun is pretty cooooool. |

| Nice idea, PP seems a bit odd on the person and dog on the right and your arm though. |

| Love this shot! even if it doesn't make me feel cold; just me but I think the right side of the pic (as you look at it) should have been cropped - I keep trying to figure out what the human looking figure is |

| Really interesting image but it doesn't really emphasize coldness to me, |
