Photo of an infinite sadness. The bear appears to be screaming at the concrete wall where it is trapped. The loneliness of an animal deprived of contact with its fellow men and of your native environment. Your photo could be part of an advertising campaign against zoos.

Beautiful picture, very poetic. The pose of the model, the choice of the background, everything makes you think of loneliness. An excellent conceptual photo. And the flock of birds in flight is the icing on the cake. Congratulations for this shot!

Great composition with the diagonal line that cuts the image with the blade of light. The use of masterful light. Excellent conversion to black and white. I really like low key photos, and with strong contrasts. And it is also an excellent interpretation of the theme, congratulations.

This shot is a punch to the heart. Loneliness is not just about being alone, but also being deprived of contact with others of your kind. In your shot I see the loneliness of a mother who knows that her child will suffer too ... as if she were trying to give him all the love she can before they are separated. Photo for truly poignant ...

Well thought out and well crafted photo. A lot of sadness and loneliness shines from the pose of the model, but the lamp with the light on represents somehow a hope. You had a great idea, it struck me a lot as a representation of the theme.

Photo very different from the other candidates in the contest, so it struck me a lot ... The only one that represented loneliness through a solitaire. I appreciated the idea and the simplicity of the concept, as well as its uniqueness. Excellent light that underlines the subject, and fades into very closed shadows.

Heartbreaking photo. Played entirely on the various grays, even if it is a color photo, it gives a feeling of being monochromatic. The pose of the animal, so human in its gesture of locking itself up as if to protect itself ... It gives me powerful sensations every time I open it. Congratulations, a magnificent shot.

Beautiful and poetic. She offers a double interpretation of the loneliness, both the sad and the serene one, of being at peace with mother earth. I assume it's done with a drone, for me it's a great example of using modern technology to seek creativity and a new point of view.

Brief

See more contest details

In this contest I would like to see solitude represented in your photos of either humans or animals. I would like to see different aspects of solitude, both the solitude sought to recharge or calm down, and a more forced solitude, when people or animals are for some reason excluded from others in their society. Please do not enter photos of just solitary objects. Colour and monochrome photos are welcome.
