February 2015 Photo Competition

The topic for this month is:

Solitude

I've just come back from another trip to the highlands and thought this might be wide enough to appeal to the landscapers, the portraitists, the street photographers, the macro fans etc.

This thread is for entries AND discussion

Good Luck!

Cheers, Mark



Rules:

The photos taken must be your own work
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for following month and judges it at the end of the month

All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Photos entered should be no bigger than 750 pixels wide for a landscape photo and 600 pixels high for a portrait photo due to the PH squash factor. Links to larger versions are permissible.

Some awesome entries as always, well done one and all.

As with any photographic competition there will be a degree of subjectivity involved, so you may or may not agree with my choices, variety being the spice of life and all that.

Anyway, my view:

Really like the simplicity of this, you get a feeling how hard the little ant is working. The shallow depth of field focuses the eye on the subject and isolates it perfectly.

Sums up the theme of the competition nicely, very contemplative and leaves the viewer wondering what the monk is considering. Nicely composed.

Really enigmatic, fits the theme perfectly, the black and white removes the distraction of colour which I think would have weakened the shot. Really like this. Well done, over to you.

An honourable mention to Rob for this,

I mean, Jesus, it's awesome! I just thought others fitted the theme better but it is an amazing shot nonetheless.

Well done all and over to Paul.
