I don't like loneliness. But I always get tired being with colleagues. I feel solitude when I'm in happy people rather than being alone. It is easy way to get seated alone, as usual.

The framing is really good and give all the meaning of this scene.
That's what I do apreciate the most. (Il faut que j'apprenne l'anglais)...

Where do any of us belong, I'm still trying to find that place! This is great composition and such a desolate feeling, perfect!

Great composition with a strong feel of desolation here!

Simone from Italy
In my opinion the vignettature is not necessary for this shot, because the composition is perfect alone!
19 Jul 2009 9:30am
@Simone: Thanks Simone. I actually have one that has no vignetting...I could not decide, to be honest with you.
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Great composition and b/w , I like very much these lines that isolate the subject. A perfect title :)

Beautiful Sharon! As soon as I saw this picture the old Three Dog Night song "One Is The Loneliest Number" popped into my head. Well done! ;-)

I like beeing alone sometimes, I like beeing retired from the world. It calms down. It's a huge graphic one, and this solitary silhouette adds a bit of humanity to this sharp architectural environment.

Sur le bord de la nostalgie... chercher un chemin d'espoir pour demain...
De la blogosphère je me suis un peu éloignée…« temps de pause… et de vacances… »

Mindy | f-stopMarin from United States
Excellent tones and composition. The diagonals and her position within the frame add to the impact and mood.

Ti from Alpharetta, United States
She's the ONLY subject / object in this shot that has curve lines! Her being there broke the harshness of the composition by those straight lines.
If you know perspective drawing then you will find all the lines go to a vanishing point to the right beyond the framed photo, everything is being drawn and sucked into that point except her...
Her presence is almost like a carefully placed chess figure...

micke bergling from Sweden
It actually looks like she does not do it! I like how you captured that moment and how you chose to show us that.
