[i] i want to apologize if this title offended any. when i was thinking of a title, this is the first one that cmae to mind, and i wanted to use "why, god" and i forgot the comma, and some thought i was asking the wrong thing...i'm a strong believer, and did not mean any disrespect by this in any manner. sometimes we feel like asking God why things happen, but then there's beautiful places like this that make us realize He's powerful and we shouldn't ask why...just thought i'd clarify. have a great week :D

I hope this is a good "why God?" and not a bad one.

Beautiful colors. The jet stream goes through the guy's hand and rests on his head. Wondering about meaning of title without comma after "Why". Good rule of thirds.

Great use of backlighting. The green feels a little unnatural to me.

Nice photo... The unnatural colors are the only detraction for me.

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......

He looks more triumphant than desperate. Still, a nice photo. Love the colors.

Nice picture. Looks like Beaver Lake, NY. But I don't like the title one bit. It doesn't look like a 'God' theme to me, more of an expanse, infinite questions, great unexpored horizons/futures... not desolation and loneliness.

Good effort.

Gorgeous colors, but I'm not really feeling the title or how the photo relates to "why?"

Love it! I'm guessing you had to hold this pose (which is a pose I use quite often in my own photos) for a good 30 seconds or more, yet, you've got crisp sharpness around the hands. Well done with that. I like the lone star.
