Lovely photo, Wendy, beautifully composed. From a design point of view, I like the way the birds, for the most part, occupy their own panel, but importantly for the story aspect, they encroach upon 'the neighbourhood' and interact with the woman. Congrats on the ribbon.
I really appreciate this so much. Bummer that I didn't vote =(
The bird formation; the color; the simplicity combined with the somewhat bleak, rigid urban composition. It's a true "this is life" image where we see everything is man-made, cold, and yet somehow temporary - and we reach out for life, nature, beauty and the peace of other life-forms to make us a part of something that has some sort of meaning - perhaps the hand presents a small gift representing love, perhaps an apology for humanity - perhaps just a symbol of loneliness, as your title hints at.
