Description This was my most favorited piece, and one of my favorites. I plan on returning to the place I shot it, and remaking this piece.

This picture reflects the sorrow, the pain, and the rejection that I'm going though. Its tough, it seems that nothing is working out for me. I wander around town, reading, thinking what the hell is wrong with me. Everything I do just ends up backfiring. I had high hopes for many things, but that doesn't really matter to me anymore. Life carries on.

That's why I called this piece "Momentary Lapse of Reason".

btw, I’m the guy sitting in the picture. I used my camera timer to take the picture, real hard to complete.

It conveys more of a
waiting for a bus kind of sense
than sorrow and rejection

im surprised nobody ran off with your camera

Oh man, that's amazing. The mood and the feelings of the picture work so well together. if I had anymore wall space I'd print it out and put it on my wall. The title, colouration, and you work amazingly. Hm.. Let's see if I can put anything beyond praise here. The one thing I could say is, maybe resize it abit, I have fairly fast internet, yet when I clicked to view this... Let's put it this way, it's huge. ^_^

well it certainly conveys a somber mood -- I would suggest maybe lowering the resolution t o sharpen the image a bit (?)
But the composition here is well thought out...

Nice job!!!

Thanks for the suggestion

I'll try that, but plus I'm using a really old camera. One Megapixel is be exact.

I like the colouration you chose for this piece. Due to the serious nature of the work it really does add to it. It gives it feel and meaning. Considering the original intent of the picture, the title suits nicely. I'd have to say I really like this piece
