Solitude

It was the early morning of the first day of 2010. I came to Maroubra

- a well-known eastern suburb of Sydney. I saw this man stood alone at

the edge of cliff, the word "solitude" then just came to my head.

 

Thanks for viewing this picture.

Yan... Not only solitude but also a capture of the power of the ocean waves. A tangible feeling of movement and marvelous depth. An excellent image... Mike

 

 

Excellently chosen timing!

Hi Michael, Pawel and Grazyna,

 

Thanks very much for your comments. Yes, it was not only a feeling of solitude, it also presented the power of ocean. It was by chance the person came to the point while I was taking pictures of the cliff and wave.

Thanks for your comment on my 'Golden Rapids' image. It brought me to your fantastic portfolio. I singled this image out because I thought you'd want to check your horizon....it drops down on the right. And a couple of your other recent posts do the same thing. You are an extremely talented and accomplished photographer, so I hope you don't mind me calling these things to your attention. As for the composition.....having that lone figure in the image gives a visceral sense of being there.....it's a very strong image. Congratulations!

Excellent! Including the person was a perfect choice. I like this and bet it was breathtaking when standing there in person. Compliments

 

Best regards, Pamela

Dear Christal,

 

Thanks very much for your comments and pointing out the horizontal line issue. Yes, I just noted this after you pointed out. I should check this more carefully.

 

Regards

Dear Pamela,

 

Thanks for your comments. This photo is also quite special to me as it was taken on the first day

of 2010.

Wonderful and evocative composition. The rich blue colors create a great mood. Very impressed.
