Apr 24, 2017		     wow, nice going bernie! great composition and post processing.
love the person caught by the sunlight.
i spent my 'wonder years' in a very urban new jersey environment. yes there were parks and such to find solitude but a very few of us found the tracks as a place of solitude (when no trains passing). in one direction you could see to the horizon.
great entry, nice finish.

Apr 24, 2017		     Thanks for the comments and votes.

Jomari - the idea was to make the solitude of the scene the subject and minimize the presence of the person who happened to be there in the midst of it all.

Qixil- I used three exposures because much of this was in shadow, which caused the beautiful blue skies to get blown out to white, when metering around the focal point.

Apr 24, 2017		     This meets the theme well and is in my tt. I do wish that the rail could have been a little less demanding of attention..

great eye lines

Apr 23, 2017		     Nice use of leading lines to draw the eye into the scene and underscore the emptiness. Great angle and composition, lovely detail.

Apr 23, 2017		     I really like the low angle of view in this shot which seems to increase the sense of depth, and thus enhances the "solitude" factor. High in my favourites.

Apr 23, 2017		     I like this one - #3 - why did you need three exposures.

Apr 22, 2017		     Meets the theme well. The absence of the past train adds to the solitude.

Apr 22, 2017		     I really like the composition and the message you have created here! Right on theme. Need to dec. exposure and perhaps up contrast a bit for more pop.

Apr 22, 2017		     Great capture - more a sense of exhaustion coupled with solitude.

Apr 22, 2017		     Nice view, well composed. Suits to the topic. In my favorites.

Apr 21, 2017		     I think I've seen the same subject (model) in a similar pose in a past challenge. Fantastic composition and a definite sense of solitude.
