We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

The marriage of lighting and composition are sweet perfection here. This is such a wonderful image, atmospheric, candid, hauntingly beautiful.

nice image bc, you always find the solitary man! isn't it dangerous to be out at night where you are? i envy the area you live in... not your house or your ass lol just the area :) (ten commandments reference)

Wondeful light and reflection bc and the words of Mr Wells suit perfectly:-)

Beautiful and strong image! A truly philosophical shot!

True words by Mr Wells . . this is a very moody shot full of uncertainty on the many paths of Life . . smooth processing, too.

A very good capture of a lonely athmosphere. The darkness and the modesty of the colour is extra fine.

I actually don't quite know what new to say about your work, Sharon - this is just another exceptional image. Unmistakeably bluechameleon.

The composition with that wonderful strip of diagonal light is perfect. Perfect.
21 Nov 2008 4:50pm
very nice photo - serene, subdued, and lovely.....
21 Nov 2008 5:18pm
Does indeed capture the loneliness of being human....
21 Nov 2008 6:19pm
wow BC!!! so dark and moody -- and spiritually, just totally GORGEOUS -- and so totally true!! life is nothing but an illusion -- a masterfully crafted, possibly deceptive, but wonderfully versatile endless string of possibilities!!! simply a perfect representation of the intangible discourse on this matter!! this is simply CLASSIC!! bravo!! bravo!!

Very noir and very subdued at the same time. Love the light :)
21 Nov 2008 7:03pm

Very fine. I like the limited use of the colours. Nice one !

The moment that we are not alone due to love and friendship is not an illusion.Thinking that we have love and friendship when there are none in order not to feel lonely is an delusion.After all,human beings are evolved to be a social creature,the word 'love' and 'friendship' are just used to represent the feelings we have evolved to feel.

Lo and behold, the queen of silhouettes and deep blacks. :)
21 Nov 2008 10:07pm
I like this kind of dark shots...
21 Nov 2008 10:08pm
i love this. how the sheen of gold skimmers over the pavement, culminating at that puddle of gold... and him, walking past this... + that quote gives this such mood. u are really good as these shots. really good =)

The curved lines trailing off out of the picture, the light and the lone figure. Unmistakably your style. Wonderful stuff!
22 Nov 2008 6:09am
The lighting is fantastic. It trails as if he is walking though a yellow brick road.. Beautiful!
(wishing you a wonderful week-end)

As for me framing is good, the road that if returns towards the past. However, I would have seen well the character at the beginning of the road and this metallic bar which returns us behind bothers me a little. The solitude as the search for reality, yes, indeed the introspection and thus often the solitude is a means to face the illusions, these illusions... Bravo as usual ;)

The quote perfectly matches with your wonderful photo.
Great lighting. The man walking away and the slight curve in the way is just superb.
