I took this photo at a park in Jersey City, NJ. The thing that struck me most about this subject was the similarity with some harsh realities like loneliness that we encounter in life...comments invited.

Ahh...I love it! It's a wee bit blurry (or maybe it's just me!) but it's still a wonderful picture!!

This is a very different approach to the topic. Desolation is usually thought of as a long-term thing, like a building falling apart over many years. The term isn't normally applied to petals falling from a flower over a few days. And flower petals don't get lonely, so that sense of desolation doesn't really apply here either. Yet this photo combines both senses to symbolically represent desolation in a way not achieved by the other entries I've seen. The image is beautiful in its own way, and technically well done. Centering the subject works well here, and you've left plenty of space around it to emphasize the sense of loneliness you want to convey. Great photo.

I'd call it focal disolation. Nice job.

She love's me....Not! Focus appears a bit off. Nice idea though.
