Definately a favourite subject of mine at the moment. I'm often amazed as to how a single figure can make a lonely shot seem even more barren. Brilliant Capture.

Echoe those Solitary man comments, wow, plus I love the song...although How lonely can one be with so many extraordinary trees around ;)

He walks with such a determined stride. Even when seemingly lonely this is not a lonely photo. I love it!

such a lonely figure... I like the silhouetted treatment while retaining the detail of the sky.

wonderful photo of solitude. the environment dominates over his presence, yet he still carries on trekking uphill.

The weight of the trees versus the lone figure, as well as the overall compostion make this a great image.

back again -- and i just realized what this shot reminds me of!! the childhood book by Shel Silverstein called: the Giving Tree!!! remember it? it was illustrated -- and is about a boy and a tree being friends... i will have to look it up -- i loved it for years -- and it made a big impact on my dreams as a child! thank you for bringing this visual back to me -- and in such a modern context! i LOVE it!! just marvelous!!!
