Always

Always good ideas, Thibaud. I like the way you framed the loneliness of the lady. Great shot, in my opinion. And I'm surprised to be the only one, here, to notice it.

I too like this image. The high toned monochrome and the loneliness as Julien said really motivates the viewer. I thinks it's a great image. Well done. Gary

Mysterious, quirky, well-composed, all-in-all a very memorable image. A bit more contrast in the sky would have made the difference from 9 to 10 for me.

Simpler is better

I just love the way this conveys a real emotion of singularity, just the woman and her relationship with the ocean. The feeling is reinforced by being so clean and uncluttured. No distracting photo elements to detract from my perception of the feeling the image is meant to convey.
