Beautiful photo, the colors are crisp and clear. Focus is great, I love the feel of the image, a nice energy but still rather peaceful. I don't get a feeling of solitude or loneliness though, so it only fits the challenge generally for me. Still its a gorgeous image. 8
Don't let anyone tell you this image does not fit the challenge. There is nothing more alone and lonely feeling than the sea. You have captured a very beautiful moment in time. I say it's outstanding. 9
spectacular not so lonely, perhaps a bit of cropping would be justified. Nice sea color on the crest- you do all digital photographer's proud with that.
