"To me this image by ~GVA had alll the criteria met and then some. Emotional, moody, conceptual and fraught with emotion. IMO this is one of the best shots I've seen on dA in a long, long time. Talk about a feeling of being isolated and alone! The title even interjects more emotion into the image. It suggests a feeling of helplessness and giving up. Congratulations man, this is one amazing image". ~ Davenit
Outstanding image, very deserving of the DD and win. Superb lighting and composition, really exemplifies the emotion of the shot. I love how it can convey so much yet be so simple, beautiful work.
