The lonely man Photo

Photographer’s Note

The lonely man

We are like trees.
Although we are surrounded by other people, computers, cars, nature, buildings, we are essentionally all alone. Most of us has our other half and possible one or more children, but we are all alone and this is best felt when you are out in the nature. No matter who you go with, your experience is just your experience and is really a subjective one. For example, I see here three lonely trees, which are bring together by just the POV I take. They don't communicate and can't touch each other. I see a lonely man in the distance against the vastness of the blue sky and think is that him that is alone or is it again just my POV. If the sky was black and full of stars the same thinking goes, is it possible that we are all alone, the whole TE, amongst the darkness of space above, among milions of other worlds?

Taken in close proximity of this one, just a different POV ;)

Hi Aleksander
I like your lonely man in this nice landscape. It's like a walking in the countryside on sunday.
Nice atmosphere

Hi Aleks, strong photo, nice compo with good lines, nice trees in sharpness/focus and certainly a mood enhanced by your note. Great you were able to produce such a wonderful image with these basic elements. Congratulations, Daniel

Hi Aleks,
While the lone tree is nicer in the WS, the clouds are much nicer in this one. I like your note, it makes the compo even stronger. I agree with both Bertrans's and daniel's comments as well
Regards, Pat

Aleks, the composition of this image is almost poetic. Great capture. Thanks for sharing!
PS: Added a BW version on the WS, let me know what do you think.

Hi Aleksander,
I find this picture much bitter than you previous, and the BW ws is not my type, but this picture is very well, excellent composition splendid with the slopes in middle, the hedge together with the two trees gives a good composition, very well done!
Thanks a lot,
John.

Hi Aleks,
Excellent landscape shots (this one and the previous) and an interesting reflexion in your text. I like the way you've composed with the three trees on different levels and the presence of the lonesome wanderer adds a human touch. Nice spring colors! Here in Switzerland it's snowing again at 900 meters today.
Regards, Brigitte

Aleksandar, outstanding definition my friend. I like all those saturated colors. The landscape is very beautiful. I like the diagonal that the fence creates. Very good depth too!! Thanks for sharing a very good job. Gabriel

I thought perhaps it was the same place as yesterday's post; I see I am right and I like this one even better. There's the same little tree peeping over the horizon, but this time we see the wide U of the vale and the strong diagonal of the hedge. Good light and colours too.

Hi Aleksander
You know what..I feel your picture is very strong..the distant man, even though he is so small, takes my eyes to him. The barren trees, the diagonal frame & the wonderful clouds in the sky adds to the magnificence of this marvellous shot

Fantastic shot Aleksandar!!
Gosto desse angulo aliado a essa bela iluminação. O efeito das cores e relaxante, e o fundo também.
Greetings.
