Ooo I love this!! The framing is wonderful! Such a lone figure, I imagine thinking and deciding on the way his life should go!

You are like a spy lurking around. You get some of the most mystical photographs. This is another wonderful image.

he is letterally walkin on the edge of the sea, in a great loneliness, a very disturbing photography, because it's full of feelings. You are very talented

You seem to manage to find a lot of lonely people but without them the image would not work, nice one

Wonderfully solitary

JoeB from Brampton, Canada
Its fascinating how you find drifting figures always in a stage of solitude, caught but not aware you either respect their privacy to a point or are very sneaky (he he.) I do like this for its mix of sea, land, and man.

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
You did it again: put the passion in the stillness, love how you do this Blue Sharon :)

Lee from Fort Frances Ontario, Canada
Great contrast, The tree looking so strong and bold. The water so vast and wide. The person so lonely and small.

dogilicious from Millerstown, PA, United States
Excellent composition. Well done. Again, it evokes a ton of emotion or thought.

I miss your signature fog and blurriness, however, this one is still fabulous with the same emotions coming thru! Bravo Sharon.

This is quite good. Works well in B/W and wonderful placement of the subject.

His posture makes him look weary and perhaps lonely. Nice street shot.

another great atmosphere capture. Beautiful pic and words

Charles from New York, United States
Beautiful capture. I really like the blend of the snow in the foreground and the gentleman walking the picture against the water. I guess that is another way of saying nice composition!

613photo from Dallas, United States
I actually think this would have been stronger if you could have moved in front of the tree and its branches. In a sense they help frame the shot, but in my opinion that complicate it. Not to say it's not good or that I don't like it because I do. The rocks, sliver of visible beach, and the endless sea is a great context for this guy who's walking around with his head down.

Observing from North West, United Kingdom
This such a thought provoking image, slightly mysterious, as if someone is peering from behind the tree.

Still snow on the ground????? It was sunny and in the 70's today. Nice image.

Another shot with great atmosphere... the loneliness, isolation. superb, I do agree that the branch is a bit distracting, but nevertheless its a great image

Another emotions and imaginations evocative image! Like the drama and the intriguing mood it's conveying...

Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
A well considered and moving image. The snow and the long coat just weigh the spirit of this moment.

great framing on this really wonderful window on a stranger's day

sherri from Little Rock, United States
Perfectly framed and I like the clarity. Certainly has a sense of melancholy.

daina from New York, United States
The branches of the tree form a triangle that frames him and that triangle form is repeated in the figure. Wonderful composition and wintery mood.

Pixim from Nice, France
In this landscape close to desolation, this man seems carried the world on these shoulders… With him, all our thoughts are with the reflection and the comprehension of the world. This photograph is a marvellous starting point for the thought and our relative position thank ;)

I like the composition, big tree and stones framing the tiny man alone.
I like your work, because you have a strong signature, made of many different palettes, I understand better your nick name :)
