Congratulations on your placement with this image. I was touched by the skateboard and when I read what you had to say about it I learned why. It is terrible to lose a friend in any way but this must have been a particularly difficult loss and you have expressed it well. I think your friend would have liked the image.
Very emotive image. Definite sadness and I can infer a loneliness from missing the friend. Good use of light and black & white. Focus is excellent. A very nice tribute to someone lost. 7
if this would have been shot with more light during the day and the model in a different pose, then converted to B&W i feel it would have been a stronger image
I think the toys are a bit too rich elements for this picture, but the idea i svery good. Maybe I feel more mourning than loneliness, but I think this is only because of the subjective style of this challenge.
wow..powerful shot..but I almost feel as if it is innapropriate as a challenge entry because it is so emotional and almost too personal if that makes sense....Its almost painful watching the young girl grieve her friend...seems like too private of a moment to be captured and shared with others.
More impact would have been felt for me with this shot had the girl been facing the tomb stone and having her back to the lens ! Nice mood it sets however using the moody feel of the B&W tones
