Greetings from the Critique Club!

I like the angle of this shot, it looks like there's a coil of mountaineering rope(?) in roughly the middle of the shot. I really do enjoy the POV and the precipitous angle of the rock, and the trees peeking out from behind. The vivid colours make her pop out and it's a nice sunny day, if I were her I'd be reading while waiting on you, too! :-)

And the fact that she isn't curled up in an angsty, moody ball is fine by me, too. After all the challenge descrip is: A single object or subject, composed and shot to give a feeling of loneliness or solitude. Solitude is sought by many and here she is perfectly content, she's having a fine old time. A closer crop to show us more of her may have helped your score, here she is almost too much just an element as opposed to the focal point.

Overall, a nice shot, keep shooting and entering what pleases you.

Feel free to PM me,

Susan

I like the idea of this shot. Perhaps is she wasn't so saturated with color, maybe a slight desat of the picture, or a complete black and white? Just my opinion, though

It's kind of a strange set up, you have to admit, but the isolated color adds interest.

I like the juxtaposition of the colors.

She seems way too engrossed and content to be all about loneliness as the title description requires.
